Things That Don't Fit in Boxes

This is a collection of select stories about our life of travel, relationship and faith. I've tried to describe the effort it has taken us to purposefully invest in our gifts and talents and follow the open doors, no matter what the cost. In our four decades together we have moved sixteen times and covered 17,000 miles, lived in four states and two countries and taken more than twenty trips to fourteen different countries in Europe, Scandinavia and Mexico, ranging from two weeks up to six months in length. All of these adventures involved at least some measure of risk but most of them required a great deal of what some would call faith but others might refer to as being foolishness. This is my attempt to present truthful narratives that will allow the readers to come to their own conclusions about how to categorize our lifestyle.
In this third edition I have added a few additional stories about our ongoing experiences with faith in recent traveling adventures, in ministry and in some of our closest relationships. Hopefully, by reading about someone else's journey of faith, you'll find a little extra courage and inspiration to pursue your own dreams as I describe our life, living outside the box.
