Fall Parent Weekend


Shelterwood Fall Family Weekend is underway. Started last night, actually. With 28 guys and 25 girls in the program it has been interesting with lots of logistical hurdles, seminars, conferences and new faces. Next week I will bring some personal insight, but for now, you are welcome to check out out the Shelterwood Facebook link above for real time updates. It will be a long weekend but worth every minute. Parent Weekend has always been the most impactful and life-changing event in Doulos Ministries as we come face-to-face with the families we serve. I as sit here at my desk and pause to write this blog, your prayers and your support are making a difference.

The weather has been beautiful here in Kansas City. All the colors of fall are on display. There is also an estimated one million leaves in my backyard. I split time last Sunday between raking and watching my football team lose another game--all with the help from one of my favorite residents, Josh. We filled at least 40 bags of leaves, although I lost count after the fourth box of trash bags. I am starting to think Spring is my favorite season. The Fall brings the leaves. Winter brings the snow shoveling and during the summer you have to cut your grass weekly or be shamed by the neighbors. Gotta love Missouri!
