Thanks to Wayne at ekklisia for linking to What Kind of Resurrection? on Dr. Darrell Bock’s blog.
Dr. Bock is one of the main speakers at the Taiwan Missionary Fellowship 2008 Summer Conference.

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for the prayers… good wishes… happy thoughts… emails and comments… visits… gifts of food… and everything else!
I heard from far away friends and received visits from people living in Taipei. I received messages from people who only know me from the blog… and received visits from those we’ve worked with [...]

Well… surgery is over… it went well apparently. The doctor got everything he was looking for and I should be fine.
I’m happy to have it behind me… but the incision is very painful and I can’t sit or stand for a couple days. I’ve got books and internet access so I’ll get through this.
