We are Mick & Jenny Daly -- "The Dalys". In 1987 we left England for a two
year assignment in Dallas, Texas, with IBM, Mick's employer of 19 years. Three years later we decided to make this
great country our permanent home.
 Many times we've been asked why we left "this green and pleasant land"
for Texas (pleasant but not all that green, except in spring - a very short season indeed!). The weather has a lot
to do with it, and the other reasons have all to do with that elusive concept: "freedom".
Back in 1990 Mick was in middle management with IBM,
successful but dissatisfied. Jenny was an ex-teacher and full-time mother,
who saw our sons heading off to college, and wondered "what next?".
So we started a home-based business part-time. The following year we
realized the first of our goals: Mick left the corporate world behind, to become a Homepreneur. Nowadays
the
home-based business is a fast growing trend.
 In late 1997, after almost 11 happy years
in Texas, we sold our home to realize a life-long dream, by taking our business "on the road" as
full-time RVers. We happily converted from Homepreneurs to RVpreneurs!
Four years later another dream was realized: we built our dream log home
in the Rocky Mountains. We know God is everywhere, but we really feel close to Him up here, where we can fully
enjoy the grandeur and beauty of His creation. Now we are back to being
Homepreneurs.
We are, above all, Christians and so grateful for all the blessings God has given us in this life and for eternity.
We wish the same for you - especially His gift of
Salvation.
 
On August 4th 2002 we were baptized in the Frying Pan River by our pastors, with many church members and Ben, Jennifer and baby Owen in attendance.
What a day, what an
experience - we thank God every day!
If you would like, please feel free to contact us, your

we'd love to hear from you!
God bless,

"As runners, I think we reach directly back along the endless chain of history. We experience what we would
have felt had we lived ten thousand years ago, eating fruits, nuts and vegetables, and keeping our hearts and
lungs and muscles fit by constant movement. We are reasserting, as modern man seldom does, our kinship with
ancient man. This, I think, is our remarkable secret, one we share every time we go running."
~ Jim Fixx, from "The Complete Book of Running"

 Now we are living in Colorado, our search for a home church ended
when we were drawn to the Church at
Carbondale. Pastor Doug Self and his staff and church members made us so welcome, and we've come to know and
love everything about this church: "A fun place to get serious about God".
 Having lived in Dallas, Texas, for 11 years, we finally
found the perfect church for both of us only a few months before selling up and going on the road (what a joke on
us!). Whenever we are back in Dallas we like to visit
Fellowship Bible Church North in Plano, Texas, pastored by Dr. Gene Getz. Gene is a wonderful man, teacher
and prolific author (see his book above for an example).
 Another "home from home" is the Vail area of
Colorado; our son Ben and his wife Jennifer living there gives us the perfect excuse to visit often. When we do,
we're blessed to join them at their church: Vail
Bible Church in Avon, Colorado (just down I-70 from Vail and one hour from us).
 "Compassion International exists as an
advocate for children, to release them from their spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty and enable
them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults." Through Compassion we have been blessed to
sponsor two children: Ayanadiss (8) in Ethopia, and Cristofer (9) in the Dominican Republic. We believe Compassion
to be one of the very best child support organizations, as measured by the percentage of our monthly giving that
goes to the children, for their unmatched care and love for the children and for the relationship between child
and sponsor.
 "Promise Keepers is a Christ
Centered ministry dedicated to uniting men through vital relationships to become Godly influences in their world."
Mick's association with this organization and attendance at their stadium events
(including the amazing "Stand In The Gap" on the Mall in Washington, DC in October 1998 with Ben & Kevin) has made
an eternal difference in our lives.
 KLOVE
is a nationwide radio station that broadcasts "The best Christian music". They kept us company during our travels
and we are grateful for such a great source of modern, upbeat and inspirational Christian music almost everywhere
you go. With the Internet KLOVE now broadcasts world-wide. Praise God!
