Isaiah Chapter 1
Thursday, June 29th, 2006We're covering Isaiah ch1-6 on Sunday night, so I thought I'd read through it (you might consider doing the same!). It's also helpful to me to just write down what I hear it saying when I read it, kindof summarizing it. Here's what I've got. If this is helpful, let me know — I don't […]
New Quiz on the Kingdom
Monday, June 26th, 2006Hm. I didn't really think this quiz was all that great, and I'll tell you why. It kept asking me to decide whether the Kingdom was A or B, and then C or D, and I'd think, it's all of those… but I'd have to choose one over the other! A little frustrating, but I […]
Third Word from India/Thailand Team 2006
Monday, June 26th, 2006Steven:
Well, we've been to Thailand, India, and unofficially, Laos, but that was just playing around in the Mekong. Since I last e-mailed, we got to take part in the gathering of believers in Nonprasert, which was actually their monthly gathering of all the nearby churches. It was really good. English and Thai worship services are […]

Another Word from the India/Thailand Team 2006
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006Kevin:
We are safely in Mumbai. Thunderstorm coming in last night - lightning outside of plane - raining hard in city. Mumbai is an incredible city - people everywhere - cars, motorcycles, "rickshaws" - hard to explain.
Rested well last night - nice rooms. Chacko, James, and Danny are taking good care of us. It's 6:15 am […]
Word from the India/Thailand Team 2006
Monday, June 19th, 2006Once they start sending me pictures, I'll get them up here, but for now, here's a few email excerpts (I, um, abbreviated a few more sensitive search keywords…):
Steven:
Once we got there (Thailand), we went through Customs and came into Bangkok. We were stopped at the checkpoint leaving the airport as they checked the boxes […]
My Preference is a Gift to Others
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006The thing about my preference, is that it should really only be something I get to lay down in order to benefit someone else. I see no other real use for preferences.
We've got this idea, especially within the new, younger generation, that our preferences define us. Therefore, we absolutely must hold onto those preferences, or […]
Oprah-merica
Friday, June 9th, 2006About a month ago, Ann Oldenburg (USA TODAY) wrote an article that many, many people wrote commentary on. I don't feel like I need to say much myself, but I'll give you an initial paragraph here, and some links to what others have said. Read or not, but don't simply roll your eyes. Being one […]
How Plants Grow
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006This may seem anticlimactic after not posting for so long, but I've been thinking lately about how plants grow. I've got some plants, and I want them to grow. They're very small now, and I want them to be bigger. But I can't make them grow. All I can do is make sure they get […]
