Katy’s Weblog
I did not technically read this book. I read the beginning third of the book, and skipped to the last 2 pages to find the murderer. I didn’t want to waste time with the details in the middle.
I read slow so unless the writing style is one I can follow easily, I read even…
God is so good to our family! My son and DIL, after experiencing the stillborn death of their firstborn last year, just gave birth to a healthy baby girl. They say only 5% of babies are born on their due date. She’s in that 5%, born on her due date of October 30. God graciously granted the parents desire of their daughter not be born on Halloween.
We’ve been driving out to LA to see our granddaughter every Monday on my day off.
Roundtrip driving time is over 2.5 hours. We try to be productive with that time – catching up, listen to Mandarin lessons on Youtube, bouncing off ministry ideas. But it’s still a long drive to me.
I read this easy children’s missionary biography to keep up with reading one book a month. (I actually read 2-3 books at one time, switching back and forth when I get bored with one.)
I had not heard of Grenfell. He is a contemporary of Hudson Taylor in the early 1900’s. Those were the golden years of missionaries being sent from England.
I like baskets, glass jars, and craft material. You never know when you need those.
Actually I don’t really use baskets that much but I can’t explain why I like them. My husband says they take up too much room in the garage. It’s true. I’ve held back on getting more. I haven’t gotten a…
I don’t like it when something is not done efficiently. I get impatient with people like that.
I am impatient with extra slow clerks, or when my husband doesn’t run a yellow light.
I don’t like it when I am not efficient.
Maybe that’s why it’s hard for me to sit down to read. I…
I immediately applied the principle in this One to One book to read the Bible with a friend.
A friend told me she’s been struggling with consistent Bible reading. So I said, why don’t we read the Bible together. We are starting with Galatians, one chapter a day, and will text each other with an insight/application each day to keep each other accountable to reading the Bible.
“Don’t even think about retirement, Katy!”
That’s what my Senior Pastor said to me, no less than 3 times.
I want to be here at our church in 10 years when a new English senior pastor will take over. It’ll be an exciting season. I love transitions when the next generation takes over. I don’t like old people. I can say that because I’m old. I want young people to take over my job. I don’t mind working under young leadership. That would be exciting for the church.
This was a fast read, only 56 pages of content, and another 50+ pages of resources and outlines.
I borrowed this book from AL after reading his book review. After reading this book, I am motivated to read the Bible with someone. I’ll pray that God will bring someone to me.
Jetlag has not been too bad this time returning from Taiwan STM. I am pretty much adjusted by the 4th day. The second day I slept till 12:30pm, but last year I remember I slept till 2pm more than one day.
I’m not experiencing as much “dissonance” in reverse culture shock this time. In past…
