Ok, I saw that Joar has a link to my blog on his, so I´d better give a little explanation.
I just bought a new (old) camera, and a macbook, and since I´m kinda the thinking, creative type, thought a blog would be the best way to make my presence known in cyberspace. But my life is so full of other things, and blogging hasn´t taken high priority yet.
But, it´s at least way better than wasting all of my time on Facebook! That´s my opinion, at least!
Now the blog is intended to be a place to air thoughts about preparing to do mission work. I mean, we´re also trying to do mission work where we´re at, in Norway, while we are here, but the drawing in my heart back to Africa increases daily, and I´ve kinda set it as my life-goal for the next few years to do all that I can to prepare for return to full-time, active mission service.
But, plans change. I make lots of plans, have lots of ideas, and expect that maybe 5% of them will materialize, if God blesses. But, the ideas may be good seed for thought for others, so as time permits, I´m hoping to post blogs on the different aspects of preparation for mission work, and the specific training I am going through, and intend to go through. And, of course, to lay out some issues that pop up in life under way.
(Note to self: Schools of the prophets, Photography, WFR, welding, landscaping, traveling through Africa)
A year ago we were planning to head back to America for a couple of years to live in a motor-home and spend time with my dad, while raising funds for returning to Africa. Now we´ve bought a house in Norway while we are both working full-time jobs and preparing for a baby to come in August! Wow, like I said, plans change!
And the plans I´m daily thinking of and adding to are laid at the foot of the cross, and are most-definitely going to undergo dramatic changes before they become reality, if ever.
So, this blog started out to be a review of my new hobby of photography. Now it seems it will be a review of life, kind of an open journal of Jason and Maggi and co.
Thanks for reading, and God bless you! Have a great day!

The first thing I noticed about your blog was the change of the title to "learning to tent-make". I was headed this way in cyberspace to let you know that it was time to update - and found out you'd done it just a few minutes ago. Great :-) I'm looking forward to reading about your thoughts, ideas, and plans for mission work - both in Norway and Africa!!
oh, and btw - I think the picture of the forgotten upside-down dump truck fits well with the title of the post: plans change!
