I know I said I would write the next blog about our 2 big annual fundraisers, but I saw a slogan on the sign of a national charity and I had to get my thoughts about it down on paper. I am not sure if it was just a Christmas slogan or if it is […]
There are a few blogs that we have been thinking about writing over the past few weeks, but I wanted to take some time today to focus on the month of November in the world of adoption and orphan care. In 1984 President Reagan proclaimed one week in November National Adoption week, President Clinton extended […]
I actually had a completely different blog written and ready to post about Adoption Awareness and then realized what a huge day today is for America. The right to vote is so important to our nation and to us as individuals to be able to voice our opinion on who our leaders will be. There […]
I will be preaching in an American church for the first time in a quite a while on November 13 (which is also Orphan Sunday) and I wanted to share some thoughts that I have been having about this sermon. I am not sure if this is the direction I will go because I have […]
This is more of a call for prayer than a blog post, but I know these blogs get to more people than other forms of communication. Also, if you have a chance, please share it with other people so that they can be praying for us here in Haiti. If you have not yet heard, […]
When All Things New first started, we had a few specific goals that we were out to achieve. Goals are and should be something that each of us as individuals, as families, as churches, and as organizations should set for ourselves and strive to achieve.

I want to be quick to clarify that I am not saying that you can buy the Holy Spirit or that you should try to, I read this passage in Acts 8:18-19 last night and wanted to discuss it a little today: “Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on […]
If you did not get a chance to read the last 2 blogs, please click here to read the first one and here to read the second so that you can see why we are putting these statements out there. If you currently live in Haiti, have ever lived in Haiti, or even have come down on […]
As you probably already know if you follow All Things New, our family is together in Haiti for the first time ever! When Sophie was born, we thought that we would be in Haiti by February, but we were definitely wrong. Now, however, everything is in place and Jess, Sophie, and I are finally consistently […]
I am sitting in the Miami airport waiting for my Dad’s flight to arrive so we can have lunch together and then fly down to Haiti. I have not been back to Haiti since moving the kids in back at the end of February (read about that story here), and I have a few different […]
