Punting Once Again
The Session of Olive Street Presbyterian Church (we changed our name) has once again decided that they are unable to try Sarah and me, and have referred the trial to Presbytery. Maybe they think that since we’re in a new Presbytery, they’ll get a different answer. I’m not sure why it took ten months to […]

Two Quotes
Yesterday The children were playing and I asked them to stop and pick up a few toys before going on to the next thing. Tabitha: “Mom, we’re still playing.” Me: “Pause play.” Tab: “Mom, that’s not a sentence.” Today Thomas is teaching Tabitha to play Battleship while the little guys take a nap. As you […]

Interview with Ralph Smith
When Sarah and I travelled to Tokyo together (twice in the last couple years), we were blessed to be able to worship at Mitaka Evangelical Church. I found this inteview with Ralph Smith, the pastor of Mitaka, on WordMP3 via Mark Horne’s blog. It’s short (about 10 minutes), but it’s an interesting interview about missions […]

Asides
By the way, this is what an “aside” looks like. These are where I can put random little musings like the following: During my upcoming trip to Japan in August, I’m planning to hike to the top of Mt. Fuji. Now, I’m a bit worried about trying to get my 300 lb frame to the […]

Back in the Game
I’ve realized that I’ve let my website lie fallow for too long, and it was starting to looking aged. I changed the theme, updated my photo software, and cleaned up some of the other odds and ends. While I don’t want to use it as an excuse, work has been extremely busy. I got back […]
