Getting Things Off the Ground

Recently, a childhood friend of mine suggested that I write a book about our life in Ukraine.  It sounded like a good idea so I sat down made an outline of things I would like to share about our life in Ukraine.  Then I asked AnnMarie, my wife, if should had some ideas and she pointed to four binders on the bookshelf and said there are 7 years worth of thoughts.  You see my mother-in-law had saved every letter my wife sent her.  And she had sent her a letter every week for almost 7 years.

So I thought, while I try to come up with some ideas for "Our life together in Ukraine" I thought I would post some the letters that she had sent her mom.  The book will be quite and undertaking for me as I think the longest paper I have ever written was what I was in seminary and it was only 20 pages.  So I thought I could spoon feed you some of our life there through my wife's letters.

So what should follow will be those letter, a few each week until I am through them all.

Enjoy,
In His Grace
