Today’s travels were without major difficulties. The departure gate in Houston was right around the corner from the arrival gate, so we made the connection easily, although they were already checking passports when we got to the gate. It was a nice day for travel after a few early bumps, and we arrived right on …

Travel Day: Honduras Blogs Begin
Travel day–up early this morning! Hard to believe we will be on the ground in Honduras a few minutes after 11 a.m. this morning One we arrive, we always hit the ground running–I am especially looking forward to meeting the first year students. With 27 or so new students this year, it will take a …
Days of Preparation
The days march on! Sorry about the couple of days away from blogging–finalizing preparations for my seminar class at Baxter Institute Seminario next week. Four hours focused on “Evidences of the Spiritual Life in the Church.” The few days of seminario are always special every year–renewing, refreshing, reconnecting.

Baxter Reflections: Graduation Gifts
Thursday night of graduation week at Baxter is always special. The graduates and Baxter academic personnel join the U.S. guests for dinner and a delightful time of expressing love with gifts and kind words.

Baxter Graduation 2010: Summing Up
After a long travel day on which I left Honduras on Monday and arrived home very early Tuesday morning, it is good to be back to a more normal routine (which may not happen until after a catch-up day). Reflecting on the past week, I believe this year’s graduation and board meeting were special in …
Baxter Graduation 2010: Monday morning in Honduras

Baxter Graduation 2010: Friday morning in Honduras
The rest of the graduation group arrived yesterday. The get-acquainted day spent on campus was special–among the best I remember in almost a decade of attending Baxter graduations.
