I wanted to update you about what’s going on in my life these days.

I officially retired on Sept 1, 2013. J  (35 official years with The Salvation Army; and 15 unofficial years)

On Nov 27th, I’ll leave for Liberia (West Africa) for one year.  It’s a place where I lived from Jan 2002 through Dec 2005 and have been back three times since then.  As far as I know now, I will be working with The Salvation Army VoTech college for that year and with a couple of other non-profit agencies/churches as we endeavor to have a positive influence on training people with, not only hands-on skills (electrical, plumbing, sewing, computer and other technology repairs, masonry, etc) but also building into the curriculum, training in business, finance, entrepreneurship, and leadership.  The underlying foundation will be to come alongside those already in skill and leadership training and additionally, encourage people to grow in their knowledge of the Bible and Christian values.

I will endeavor to keep you posted with weekly updates on my blog.
