When he and his wife Deb came to Duluth from their native Twin Cities back then, they were just another young couple chasing the dream of “the good life” up north. They didn’t know what to expect or how they would make a living. They were pretty sure Deb, an emergency room nurse, could hook on quickly at one of the local hospitals. But fresh out of the University of St. Thomas with a public accounting degree, Jim had no idea how his professional life was going to shake out.

Good News from David in Kenya, the boundary wall is partly finished, there is water in the well & the foundations have just started for the first four bedroomed house. The reality is there are no minidiggers, no concrete mixers or boring machines, everything is done by hand. The boundary wall foundations were dug out by hand and all concrete mixed by hand. The blocks are cut out in the quarry from the coral by hand so everything is a very slow process but at least now the first house is started, keeping watching for a weekly update.

"You know, suffering is a part of the good life. It's not the avoidance of suffering. Who was it who said that Luther and Kierkegaard probably would have ended up plumbers if they'd been born in the twentieth century because they would never have experienced enough pain to have driven them to their genius."
