Jason’s Last Day

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

On Saturday, February 28, we had two going-away parties for Jason Wilhelm, first at the Lomacangs’, and then at the Quinns’. Jason left March 1, returning to his hometown in Tennessee, after working at 3ABN for about six (?) years.

Jason’s department was responsible for the 3D graphics, advanced video graphics, and set designs at 3ABN. Jason was also an important part of our young adult group at 3ABN, and was a regular part of our small group’s activities. For these reasons and more, he will be missed.

Sandra Entermann’s visit

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

My partner in crime from the GC Readathon website, Sandra, came for a couple days of taping at 3ABN this week. Although we had met at 3ABN once before, this time we actually knew each other, and it was fun to hang out a bit and get better acquainted. Her friend Kendol also came, who has played the piano to accompany her on previous occasions as well, and it was great to get to know him.

The first evening Sandra and Kendol were here, the three of us went for a walk at West Frankfort Lake. There was a beautiful sunset, which made a great backdrop for photos.

Battle Creek, Michigan

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

This past weekend, July 25-27, I went to Battle Creek, Michigan, to do some photography for the “Our Heritage” series I’ve been writing for 3ABN World. Battle Creek is the home of the Historic Adventist Village, and there are many sites related to Seventh-day Adventist history in the area. So many of my friends and family and coworkers have been there, but I’d never been there to visit.

Providentially, my friend Diana was leading a group of Bible workers at Battle Creek, and she invited me to come. The timing was perfect, since if I had waited any longer, their evangelism series would have been over, and I would have lost my “inside connection.” Thanks, Diana!

A Happy Birthday

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Today was my 35th birthday. I had lots of birthday greetings from friends and family, an unprecedented quantity I think. Thanks to everyone who sent one! Most of them came via Facebook. I got two “old fashioned” paper cards: one from my mom, and one from my friendly neighborhood bank. My mom also sent a gift package (clothing), and my coworker Adam’s wife Gabriela made a vegan cheesecake with “Happy Birthday” written across it in berry sauce. Yummmm. :-)

Another blessing today was the arrival of my new graphic design assistant, Nicole. She’s moving here from Colorado, and turns out she knows some mutual friends of mine (Adrian, Regi, Diana, maybe others—friends who’ve gone to Southern). From what I’ve seen, she is quite talented, and seems like she will be fun to work with.

Cave-in-Rock State Park

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Since moving to Illinois about nine years ago, one place I’ve often heard about but had never visited is Cave-in-Rock. It was a little further distance to drive than the places our young adult group usually visits, but I was glad I went.

I put a collection of photos up on Facebook:
