“Greater things are yet to come, and greater things are yet to be done in this city…” Such is the first line in the chorus of a song you may already be familiar with, or you may not.  You may have even sung the Chris Tomlin version of it in your own church or at [...]

I love pickles.  Sweet.  Garlicky.  Spicy.  Dill.  You name it, I probably like it.  And, contrary to popular belief, pickles are not limited only to cucumbers.  No, there’s lots of veggies (and even fruits, as I’ve come to learn living in Asia… though I’ve not yet ventured into eating them) that can be subjected to [...]

Hey Dad, Every day I wonder what it’s like where you are now.  If it’s all angels and clouds, with singing all around, like the movies tell us… if you’re sitting in a fishing boat somewhere chatting it up with Moses, drinking root beer, and eating an ice cream bucket full of chocolate chip cookies [...]

Sorry for the slack in blogging the last couple of weeks. Boy has it been busy around here! Brook and I have each had language exams and moved on to our new modules, we’ve celebrated the Easter season, and now we’re in the midst of the biggest Thai holiday there is – the biggest, country-wide, [...]
