PathLight

I have a request. Do you have a car or truck you’ve thought about donating? PathLight needs one urgently for the programs in Belize.

Last month one of our volunteer teachers, Dwight, was driving our Toyota and was hit broadside by a bus. Thankfully the student in the passenger side is fine, but Dwight had broken bones and a big scare. You can see in the picture how the bus hit flush with where he was sitting. Dwight flew back to the States for medical treatment and after a few surgeries will be okay.

But PathLight is out one vehicle. …

A friend recently took on the challenge of reading through the Bible in 90-days. It seemed overly ambitious to me, but it had the appeal of an outrageous idea so I decided to give it a try.

I am two weeks into the three-month journey. It has forced me to read parts of Scripture that I normally overlook. Usually this is a chore – it’s not very interesting to read all the begets!

Yet in the midst of the tedious parts are little jewels. Take Bezalel and Oholiab. Not exactly household names, are they? Yet they receive special mention in …

The security guards at PathLight do not carry guns, but they have LIGHTSABERS! Definitely a safe and protected feeling have them patrol the area around my cabana here in Belize!

I’ve been here the last few days and been so thankful for the good people that make this ministry work. Reggie, the guy carrying the lightsaber, is such a gentle soul … despite how he looks in the photo! It’s a great team of people here in Belize, as well as back in the States, and I’m proud to work with them.

Last night we had the college students over …

My hope is that yesterday you had a wonderful Christmas Day filled with good memories!

The day after Christmas is when I like to ponder what memories were made. I try to let it sink in so that I will always remember the good things about the day. Sometimes those memories are deeply meaningful and even spiritual. But admittedly, sometimes they are simply about a lot of fun!

For instance, I will never forget the Christmas when my parents gave me a new bike. It was a candy apple red Sting Ray (this was the early 60’s, after all) and …

This year PathLight sent a letter from all the staff. I like the letter (I wrote it, so I should!) but the real fun is seeing all the signatures. They are a little fuzzy on this blog, but it’s amazing how many people work for PathLight. They are doing amazing things! Here is the letter and signature page:

Merry Christmas! What a treasure it is to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Immanuel, God is with us. Could there be anything more worthy of celebration? It is easy to forget this. We overlook that God is indeed with us. Our …

On my last trip to Belize I met with the PathLight sponsorship students who were attending college or university. These young men and women were the first PathLight students to make it through High School, and as such were the ones we made all of our mistakes on! So I wanted to ask them how we did. Basically, I asked them to turn the tables and give us a report card.

I loved the conversation. Not so much because of the things I learned about what we did right or wrong (though that was worthwhile), but because these young men …
