The last several weeks have been fairly intense around the Kuzma household. Here's a couple quick updates and a chuckle for you: Jonathan seems to be doing pretty well at Heritage School in Provo, Utah. We miss him like crazy! Not that one ever knows what...

I am writing from, of all places, downtown Seattle, Washington….NOT a place we had planned to stop when we left last Wednesday with some very good friends for San Francisco, where we spent the night. On Thursday, we boarded the Sea Princess and sailed for...

The long, but good, weekend, started too early for my taste on Friday morning when the alarm went off at 5:00 am. Colleen, Jonathan and I headed out at 6:30 for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. I went through my first test with them in this gastrointestinal journey...

I didn't feel it because the boys and I were on the freeway toward Indio, but what a wild thing to have an earthquake on Easter! What a great reminder that we are NOT in control of life around us and that anything can happen...

The last two days have been a bit hard to get my mind around. Colleen and I are at El Capitan Canyon, north of Santa Barbara. We left around 3:30 Sunday afternoon. I drove from home to one of our favorite produce stands in Somis....

Great Saturday! One of the goals of my sabbatical has been to experience, and allow my family to experience, what it's like to live a somewhat "normal" schedule of life. A Pastor's schedule is quite interesting. Many think we only work one day a week (when...

Since returning from our camping trip to Buellton, sabbatical has been hopping. Is that an oxymoron? Should sabbaticals be this busy? Apparently, only if you're at home during them! The week we returned, Colleen was at one of her two jobs (nursing and teaching) for most...

Wondering where "Summer Sabbatical Scoop #1" is? It's here, but titled differently. In the last post, I offered that if anyone had a better name for these updates, bring 'em on! Well, some did, and I chose this one. Been two weeks since the previous update....
