I think the people who were born to be teachers have to be of a slightly different breed from the rest.  Strange creatures they are… and the better a teacher they are, the stranger they must be. After all, who would want to spend their entire day, every day, 180+ days of the year with [...]

It’s one thing to simply learn a foreign language in order to be able to both understand and speak its words well. It’s another to understand the culture from which the language comes. And, it’s a whole other thing to try combining the two so you can understand what people actually mean when they are [...]

Another reason to be thankful for where I live? I took these photos yesterday within an hour’s drive from my house – Khun DanDam, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand Nang Rong Falls, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand Thailand is so beautiful.

It’s been killing me (figuratively, of course) not being able to write anything on here about all that’s gone down in the last two and a half weeks.  Seriously.  So much has changed. We moved. No longer residents of Lopburi, Thailand… now citizens of greater Bangkok.  And, it’s wonderful.  Seriously wonderful.  I honestly can’t begin [...]

Wow is all I have to say.  Seriously.  Wow. Now, to the rest of you, to whom I may sound like just another a blabbering girly girl hyped up over something insignificant, I say “whatever.”  With the kindest smile, of course.  :) Today, Brook and I had a few hours to kill between lessons and [...]

Yes, Tasty Tuesday on a Wednesday. Such is the life of a missionary in transition – more about that tomorrow! For this week’s Tasty Tuesday, I thought I’d share with you a few of the places I like to go online when searching for ideas on food, recipes, creativity and what not. Living in Thailand [...]

For those of you who don’t yet know who Flat Stanley is, let me enlighten you.  Stanley is the main character in a children’s book popular in elementary schools throughout the States and Canada.  The story focuses on a boy named Stanley Lambchop and how he uses his seemingly unfortunate circumstances to his advantage.  Wikipedia’s [...]

So, today our errand-running didn’t start out the greatest. After a week of either the post office being closed or being completely inaccessible due to the Songkraan holiday, we were ready to pick up whatever had arrived. Among whatever mail may have come, there is certainly at least one package from home, possibly two. You [...]
