One thing that is sort of new for me is my commitment to return to the USA once a year, usually in winter, to work remotely from there and at least for the foreseeable future. Generally, I wait 3-5 years and then return to the USA for about six months (to be compliant with US Social Security rules) of stateside assignment. This has actually been my pattern for 20+ years or so. However, at the end of my last six-month period in the USA (6 April 2022), it was clear that there were some health issues with close family members, which made me think that I need to return more frequently to the USA to help in with their care.

I was met by a Welsh friend, who kindly gave me a lift from the ferry port in Holyhead to my home for the next few months, whilst I look for a more permanent home (see below). I am greatly blessed and grateful.

Greetings from sunny California! As 2022 continues to move forward, at some times seeming like a bulldozer and at others standing still, we continue to seek the Lord and His will and guidance for these times that are both pregnant with purpose and opportunity as well as uncertain and fraught with difficulty.
