About Us

I was given a pink slip after ten years at an institution whose mantra is “We are home”…OUCH! Through this process, I have learned some valuable adult lessons. Some I have learned the hard way, but it has always been this way! Anyway, the hard lessons stick better…and easier to write about!

My name is Lj. Living nearly eight years in Japan, and ten in Oklahoma, Kari and I have been able to piece together a culture of meaning for our family. We borrowed a little from here, little from there, and whole lot from above! Our experiences have taught us much, but we know better than to live in the past. We have expected little and have received much. We know where we have been, where we are, and where we want to be. As a family, we bring meaning to our lives as parents, kids, teachers, and children of God. We live a day at a time, enjoy the moment and make plans to join God where He is. In doing so, we keep expectations to a minimum and enjoy the ride.
