Giving birth to 20 year olds…
I’ve been wanting to blog about this for some time…today seems like as good a time as ever… When I was young and people started talking about babies (a conversation I usually steered clear from) I often said with great bravado, “I would be willing to go through a tremendous amount of labor to give … Continue reading
On Silent Warnings…
Intrigued and thankful today for the silent warnings, God, through His Spirit, gives us. In the midst of a fairly mundane Tuesday, I decided to venture out and grab some stuff at the store…all throughout my drive to Japanese 100 Yen Store (yes, they have one in Thailand!), I kept finding myself rather melancholy. Was … Continue reading
Lao – Day 2 (censored) and now it’s January…
Well…writer’s block got the best of me…not because I didn’t have something to say (has that ever happened…no)…but because I was applying the rule of “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all”. I learn this little tidbit from my very own mouth about three times a day when I … Continue reading
Lao – Day 1
Well, as I sit here, we have been on this journey for 24 hours. We left last night and boarded the VIP bus en route for the border town of Udon Thani. I think it’s really good that we slept through that bus ride….it was super curvy and I think if I had been more … Continue reading

We are 95% moved into our new home…everyday something finds a place to go and we are just about done with … Continue reading

Life got really fast upon our return visiting the DTS team – thanks to the generosity of so many people in Okinawa, we had about 50 pounds of American candy that had to be distributed to lots of people and I took the … Continue reading
DTS & Vietnam
Greetings from Vietnam! It’s funny to be sitting in a socialist republic and having every amenity of home except (gasp!) Facebook. For some reason, that just crosses the line in this country, but the word on the street is that people get around national security and have it anyhow. I will just wait until I … Continue reading
Water!
Well, we finally did some good ole’ fashioned suffering for Jesus…anyone who has a latent, underlying idea that missionaries have to suffer, then we can finally satisfy you! Our water was out for 1 1/2 days…the house was starting to smell, and so were its inhabitants! 🙂 Just a few minutes ago it came flowing … Continue reading
Giddy in Heaven & Flooding in Chiang Mai

Today we celebrate my Mom’s victory in winning the race to Heaven before the rest of her immediate family…six … Continue reading
