The main reason for coming to Vietnam is to experience what life is like for E and to meet his friends and coworkers. It was perfect that his company planned a retreat this weekend at Mui Ne so that we can both see a new place and get to know his coworkers.

I didn’t realize it was going to be such a big adjustment to move out of my parents’ house and into my own place. First of all, I didn’t even think about the fact that I didn’t have any furniture and I would have to buy some –…
My friend Bonnie lend me this booklet, “An Introduction to the Mainland Chinese Soul”. It is insightful and gives a clear picture of the Chinese way of thinking and how it affects their receptivity to the gospel.
The best parts are the stories of individuals that reveal how Chinese handles life and the gospel.
Why is it that it’s considered impolite to call someone fat, yet, people think it’s perfectly fine to say to me, in a derogatory tone, “You’re so skinny!” I feel like responding with, “Thank you, and you’re so fat!” How would they like that? Unless you are commenting on my skinniness as a compliment, that I look good being skinny, making an observation that I am skinny is as impolite as calling someone fat. But no one seems to think of it that way.
In studying Isaiah chapter 1 and worship, I was thinking that sometimes church can get in the way of true worship.
I love “church” and all that we do at church, but I’m not sure I love it because it’s worship or I love it because it’s comfortable and enjoyable. I can’t help but think that perhaps the “stuff” we do isn’t quite hitting what God wants for His church.

While the degree options may be limited, there is still enough to choose from, both undergraduate and graduate classes are available.…
The safest investment is probably gold. IRA gold is a good long term investment. In today’s economy of the devalued dollar, gold will hold its value.
You can also invest in gold by rolling into a 401k gold account. I don’t know how that works, but I’m sure some expert investment company can help you.
My daughter thinks trying to decide what classes to take in high school is hard enough. Then she’s got to decide her major in college. These decisions determine the course of her life.
But as I advise my daughter about her academic path, I told her that in the end, it doesn’t really matter. She’s got her whole life in front on her to change her course.
I am not a good housekeeper. I suppose I could clean my house, but I don’t have a natural knack for it. I have a couple of my friends who keep an immaculate house. You can drop by their house unannounced and their house looks as if they’ve been cleaning for days, all ready for company.
