This is my story of growing up in a small town in Nebraska, often looking at maps of northern Canada and dreaming of going there. Those dreams eventually came true, but first I had to undertake a journey from angry unbelief and rebellion to complete confidence and surrender to God, who gave me a purpose.

The resulting saga took me from Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories, on the shore of the Arctic Ocean, to the jungles of South America. But the most exciting adventure has been my faith walk and really knowing what it's like to have the hand of God on my shoulder protecting, directing, and correcting me.

The journey continues.
