I continue to reflect on my recent trip to Haiti. The mission team from Central spent two weeks at the Soaring Unlimited Clinic outside of Cap Haitian.

A Winning Team

November 1, 2016 By Dale Ostema Leave a Comment

For Michigan State Spartans fans like me, this has been a disappointing football season. My usually- winning Spartans aren’t playing well or winning. On the other hand, if you’re a Wolverine fan, you’ve got reason to gloat this fall! One hallmark of successful teams of any kind is “doing the basics well” and “excelling in… Read More »

October 1, 2016 By Dale Ostema Leave a Comment

Fall is a Time To Renew What are you passionate about? We’re all passionate about something. We might have a passion for gardening, for sports or even eating (not to be confused with cook- ing which isn’t always as much fun).
