Home Tour

"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.” Mark 10:29-30

I don’t profess to have an across the board understanding of the intricacies of applying this passage. I also admit that when we sold our double wide and left home for the gospel I couldn’t really envision us coming back to a particularly nice home, but we have indeed received much. Not that we are living in a mansion, far from it. Our home is modest by all accounts, but it suits us well. It does have three features we have always dreamed of – wood floors, gas logs, lots of windows.

We are still on the lookout for a name that reflects the restful, peaceful place we are hoping to create for ourselves and others – a virtual sanctuary, a refuge, a place of renewal and refreshing. Kychom has come to mind, it’s an African name for “a place to rest” and Khaya meaning “a restful place.”

Here's a little tour:


Gas logs awaiting a snowy day

Lots of windows for welcoming the cheery sunshine

Wooden floors - YES!

The Quiet Garden

Nice patio, dusk, firebowl, friends, music

- what more could you want?

"Lord, may this room and this home provide the restful,

peaceful santuary we dedicate it to be."
