Fig is an acrostic for Faith in God from Mark 11:22. We as missionaries living in Japan enjoy our FIG in Japanese or In Nihon Go (ING). Here we are figing away in a beautiful country Japan. This started out as a place for family to get updates and pictures but now this goes all over the world. Praise God. May you be blessed as you read my posts. Some funny, some sad, & some really stupid and embarrassing for my family.

Goodbye to my truck
It wasn't just a truck but it was my sanctuary my temple to worship the most holy God. It had 9 years of my smell and I probably spent more time in it than I did in my home. A man's work truck is a place of inner sanctum. I have had the most holy experiences with the Lord in that truck. I prayed, worshiped, cried, shouted (mostly at other drivers), laughed till diet coke came out my nose. Oh it was a glorious work truck. But alas she is gone. The higher calling of the excellency of Christ have resulted in this forfeiture. Yet I consider all things dung at this point and with the truck having 140K miles and running on 5 of the 6 cylinders and multiple other things on the verge of needing repair it was dung. So it is gone and we press on to the higher calling.
