Observations of Visitations: Part One, May it fall like the rain . . .
Saturday, May 2nd 2009
As I mentioned a few weeks ago Dave and I have been spending a fair amount of time attempting to visit the pastors in the BELC. We have had a number of different objectives, wishing to get to know them, giving them an opportunity to meet us on a more personal basis, seeking to find
Pastoral Visits – Koppedu
Sunday, March 22nd 2009
Greetings from India, where Psalm 121:6 has far more relevance than it does in the Midwest. This last week Dave and I had the wonderful opportunity to get out and meet with most of our Pastors from the Koppedu district in their own homes. We did of course learn of many challenges that they face
Not With the Hacking and the Gagging

Thanks be to God, I have finally begun language studies in an attempt to learn Telugu. As I was searching for a teacher last year a number of people (not our fellow pastors but others) told me I shouldn’t even try. I wouldn’t be able to do it. They of course no neither the power

Chitwan to Langtang
I’m not sure exactly where to begin so much has happened since I wrote my last post. Elephants, Rhinos, steel blue Rivers, rocks, canyons, waterfalls, mountains, forests, fire dances, buses, ledges, soup, cliffs, nettles, vomit, church, rice and laundry, any one of those words is a story unto itself. I’ll begin with a tale of
Hooliganism
Tuesday, January 27th 2009
Large and bright on the wall halfway up the stairs to our room is THE poster with THE rules of conduct for THE Hotel. Last, but by no means least among the tribes of Law is number six. There shall be no hooliganism . . . Todd and I have tried to abide by the

Kathmandu, Nepal – Wednessday, January 21, 2009 – 4:08AM I am fifteen minutes away from being exactly half a day off from the world I so recently left behind. This provides a significant challenge. After almost a full forty-eight hours of traveling Todd and I arrived last night in the mountainous capital on the top
Lighthouse Please
Wednesday, December 10th 2008
As normal my spur of the moment attempt at an adventure (what others call site seeing) ended in failure, not really disaster, but definitely not where I was expecting it. Online the LonelyPlanet Website lists a grand total of two real attractions in Accra Ghana, a light house and a National Museum. Looking for something
