Once and for all, What is the House?

We’ve done it!  We’ve finally come up with a reasonable, succinct, practical explanation of what we want to do.

It’s no longer a wishy, washy idea.  After thinking about this thing for more than 6 months, I think we’ve finally come up with a good explanation.

Please read on.

Some Good Questions…

Our friend Jason asked us some really good questions.

He was the pastor that conducted our pre-marital counseling, and we trust him a lot.  So his thoughts are significant to us.

He asked us some good questions about our mission that I wanted to share…

Where Do We Live Now?

No, we’re not done traveling.  But I don’t think we’ll be leaving on any more 6 month journeys.

For the time being we’re moving around Central Ohio staying with various friends and family.  We’re trying to eliminate our expenses so that we can liberate more resources for our future plans.

So What Are We Doing Now?

Not surprisingly, this is a question we’ve been getting a lot.

What we really want to do is just be people that maintain a genuine interest in their neighbors.

Short Answers: Are You Guys Some Sort Of Hippies?

I’m not really sure what ‘hippy’ means.

Most of the hippies I see today are more concerned with looking like hippies than they are with any particular lifestyle.  Birkenstocks are expensive.

Short Answers: Are You Scared?

Yes, I know that I should be terrified.  When I sit down and rationally think about what we’re doing, there is a lot of uncertainty.

But in reality, I don’t feel scared at all.

It All Comes Down To This

It’s a convenient package to tell our story as this:  A couple was tired of working their jobs, so they quit them, sold all of their stuff and hit the road in search of an adventure.

Certainly, there is some truth to that.  There are many sides of our story.  But I can assure you that simply being tired or annoyed with our jobs would not be enough to precipitate such a drastic action.

The first and most important piece of our thread is about Jesus.

Short Answers: When Are You Coming Back?

We get this question a lot.

It’s a funny question for us.  “Back” is sort of an arbitrary word…
