I’m trying out a new email service called MailChimp, which delivers the emails and manages my address lists. Sometimes though my emails go through to your spambox 🙁 so please check there to see if it slipped by, and […]
Four Strikes and You’re Out! Oh wait…
Last night some students invited me to go bowling after class. We had a great time! Sorry about my reflective jacket… I always forget to take it off for pictures, ha. Something I always took for granted in America but will no longer: bowling balls with large finger holes. I could barely get my fingers in these, let alone my thumb. Finally I found one […]
For your viewing pleasure
It’s been a wild and crazy and amazing summer, and here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. We had two teams come to help this summer – the first team, from Evangel University, stayed for two months and taught two courses, one in June and one in July; the second team came from Origin, the young adult group at Simi Valley Church of the […]
Newsletter posted!
Sorry I haven’t been blogging as I should have — it’s been a reeeeeeeeeeally busy month! But here’s my latest newsletter with some pictures and updates. Enjoy!
SoccerMom
You know SoccerMom — the mother (or father … I should say SoccerParent) with an extra-large vehicle driving around too many kids to too many events while only having time to grab dinner at the drive-thru, and loving every minute of it. Whenever a team comes into town to help me at TLC, I feel like I turn into SoccerMom. Ok, so maybe I don’t […]
A few thoughts from the last couple days
– I have the superpower of being invisible. Unfortunately, it only happens when I’m on my bicycle. – Perspective is everything: On the day that you are running late, need to be somewhere fast, or have something urgent to get done, there will be more bad drivers, longer and more red lights, and more people pulling out in front of you. – Italy is a […]
A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
So I’m making up for my lack of blogging by posting a lot of pictures! March = missionary meetings in Bangkok and teaching at an English Camp for the Engineering Faculty at Chiang Mai University April = Asia Pacific Youth Leaders’ Consultation in Bangkok and classes at TLC English Center
Duck and Cover!
I was up in Chiang Saen for the weekend, competing in a duathlon and triathlon. Chiang Saen is about a four hour drive from Chiang Mai: (Thank you Google Maps) On Thursday night, around 9pm, the little wood bungalow on stilts where I was staying started shaking. Wow, that’s a pretty strong water pump that just turned on, I thought. But the shaking kept on […]
Random is my middle name
Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. At least I hope it’s pleasurable for you. One of my more recent “races” was a 5k Run for Relief to support ministries who are working with peoples in and from Burma. Friends from TLC joined me, and we all did a great job! Oh, and I ran barefoot … “Thousands of villagers flee their homes […]
Bad Blogger!
Here I am again feeling guilty for not posting more often, or posting more interesting things. Thailand is a shame-based culture, rather than guilt-based (as America is), so I’m feeling shame also. Shame shame shame! A smattering of random updates to hold me over until I muster enough energy to post a good blog… – Bronchitis is over! Praise God for His healing power and […]
