Welcome to the Beard’s blog! We are thrilled that you found your way here! I want to take this space and time to tell you a little bit about our blog and what we hope will happen here. Joe and I have limited Internet access so it is our plan to blog at least once a week. We will be sharing what God is doing in us, where we are at in preparing for the trip and any other information we think our friends and family would enjoy knowing. We will be very open and honest here and hope it will bring insight and encouragement to you as well. On our blog already we have some good stuff. First, we have our ABOUT page, this is a general overview of Joe and I. Then we have the SUPPORT US tab, here you are able to donate to our trip! Another tab allows you to SUBSCRIBE to our blog so you get updates at your email every time we post something. We also have a couple blogs already, including our support letter. You can contact us any time by hitting the CONTACT button and using any option to get ahold of us. We would love to hear your thoughts, concerns, encouragement and any way that we can be praying for YOU! Thank you for your love and support, we wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you!!!
