June 15th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I’ve got a friend here [...]

Memorial Day 2007

May 28th, 2007 · 2 Comments

UPDATE: a small addition has been added after the pictures and I added a link to the P-38

Wikimapia

May 25th, 2007 · No Comments

You’ve probably heard of Wikipedia. If not, you might want to check it out. You have to be careful, but you always do on the internet…
I’m not sure if they spawned the prefix WIKI- or not… but they’ve at least popularized it greatly.
I was looking through some old bookmarks today and found a pretty cool [...]

I don’t know the original source of this material… and the website I’m linking to doesn’t know either… but you’ve gotta see this.
Here’s an example picture and you can click on it to go to the website and see the rest… pretty cool if accurate… I’m not going to look it all up right now… [...]

I wish I had more time to write about this… it saddens me so…
WEBLINK —> Mothers In Taiwan Are Overburdened
According to the survey results…
7 out of every 100 mothers of 4-12 year olds that I see have considered suicide as a way to escape the pressure of being a mother.

How You Can Help Your Missionary

April 16th, 2007 · No Comments

A couple weeks ago, one of our friends wrote and asked us if they could provide us with some ideas about how they might be able to help one of the missionaries their church supports who is back in the USA for a year. I replied… but later thought of this and though I’d share [...]

Do You Notice the Beauty Around You?

April 11th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I read A LOT.
I read books… magazines when I have access… and miles and miles of text on the web.
