I got some pretty nice macro shots in Donegal recently using my Sigma 50mm. Here’s what Thrift and Clover look like when you’re up real close…
I’m hoping when I’m in the states (I leave on Friday for 2½ weeks) to pick up a Sigma 18-50mm since such things are always a lot cheaper there. I [...]
So I got back from Africa about a month ago, and a week later, after many difficult goodbyes, it was all over. And like all of my former fellow students, I was left wondering – what on earth do I do now? And what just happened?

I can’t believe it but by Tuesday morning I will be in Addis airport in Ethiopia, and by the evening, if everything goes to plan, we will be at the YWAM Rwanda base.
We will be spending 2 weeks at the YWAM Rwanda base helping them out and getting involved with their ministries. Then we’ll travel [...]

I still have one more week of work and then two weeks off before my DTS (Discipleship Training School) starts, but I’ve moved up to the Belfast YWAM base which is where I’ll be for the next 6 months. It came as a bit of a surprise to realise that my friends weren’t speaking figuratively [...]
