Normal is overrated. But we still like to think we are normal, our lives are normal, the world is (mostly) normal… I posted my “What is ‘normal’?” series about American culture a few months ago, so I decided to post my “Back to normal” series from my return to Thailand over on the Window on Thailand page. Hope you will enjoy the list (that is […]
More than a coincidence!
I wrote about two amazing things that God has done recently in my newsletter – click here for a pdf! Here’s one story: God (over-)answers specific prayer While I was in the US, I prayed often about where I would live when I returned to Thailand. I had a specific list of things I wanted in a house! When I arrived in Chiang Mai, I […]
“What is ‘normal’?” series – from America
While spending eight months in America after three and a half years in Thailand, many things in the culture and society struck me as odd, funny, strange, confusing, laughable, and all of the above at once.

Itineration begins
I arrived in CA two days before Christmas. It’s been a busy two months, to say the least, and I haven’t posted much on here about it. (Are you surprised? probably not.) Itineration started off with a tour of meetings throughout Southern California (San Diego to Fresno and everywhere in between) — 3 or 4 meetings per week, plus my Sunday services. I drove about […]

God answers prayer!
Moving overseas = lots and lots of details to be figured out! One such detail is packing up my house here and storing it all while I’m in America. God has answered our prayers about figuring all of that out! Just last month, a young couple moved to Chiang Mai to work at the village community center. I was able to help them start up […]
