Just East of West

For all you folks that have wanted to know, who are these people? Well, here we are. Gentlemen first of course,
Aaron James

Occupation: Full time Intercessory Missionary, Husband, Bass player, bringer of food that is being craved by his pregnant wife, Head James Residence Dish Washer and soon to be author

Vital Stats: Tall, white to the point of opaqueness, has curly hair that he styles when he has the proper products, blue eyes, good “I’ll be your friend for a cup of coffee” smile.

Loves: Pursuing God and studying His Word, Interactive Digital Entertainment, Settlers of Cattan, Photography (ask him about Canon cameras!), and his wife.

Favorite snack food: The really cheap store brand chocolate chip granola bars. The wrappers of which he leaves all over the house. See also: yogurt, pb&j sandwiches, and leftovers of all kinds.

Jennifer James

Occupation: Not a darn thing right now, and I love every second of it. Mostly I keep up the house, do some laundry, and read a ton of books.
Vital Stats: Tall, has hair that she could impale you on (trust me, it’s spiky!), green eyes, great smile thanks to thousands of dollars out of pocket in orthodontics, courtesy of her parents. Also enjoys wearing boots, with jeans tucked into them. It’s cuter than it sounds.

Loves: Reading, Finding those passages in the Bible that make you go “wow, I love Jesus”, beating her husband at Scrabble and being married to an awesome man. Also loves NOT being nauseous at night, and sitting in the front 5 rows in the prayer room, where she tries not to make awkward eye contact with the worship team.

Favorite Snack: Thanks to being pregnant, it changes every day. This week it’s been clausen pickles, fresh fruit, and large glasses of milk.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why don’t you blog on the weekends?

Now that Jennifer no longer has daily internet access, the blog posts have become more intermittent. We at JEoW do try hard to post often, but, sometimes it takes us a while to think up something interesting.

Which one of you could beat Chuck Norris in a fight?

It was Jennifer, but the doctor has warned her that contact sports and pregnancy do not go hand in hand. Now it’s more likely than not going to be Aaron who emerges victorious, but only because he would wait until Chuck Norris fell asleep, hit him, and then run away.

What is your dream?
We desire to be first and foremost, great lovers of God. We hope to minister in prayer and reality to other couples like ourselves, who just need encouragement and someone to tell them they are doing a good job at being alive. We dream of being the kind of parents that raise passionate lovers of Jesus who don’t scream in public and always remember to say thank you.

We heard you are intecessory missionaries, what is that?
We actually have an entire section devoted to what it means to be an intercessory missionary, and how you can partner with us as we work at the International House of Prayer. Just see the ‘intercessory missionary’ page at the top our home page. Thanks for being interested in what we do!

Have more questions to ask? Leave them here. Posting suggestions? Topics you want to hear about? Leave those here too! We’ll get right back to you. More to come later and see the page “The James: Defined” for our mini testimony and our secong blog, StrappedforCash for our betrothal/dating story! Bless you, and thanks for hanging out with us at justeastofwest!
