HUT Part III

Did I mention that I had paid 200 HUTs for uneven crutches. Try walking on uneven crutches and one leg through mud. But as I said my foot was healed. Finally, our work day was done and efter washing off our tools Mary and I made our way to the municipal building where all the [...]

HUT Part II

The next morning, after a breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy, which everyone scarfed because we’d heard rumors that our meals would be dependent on our pay for the days work, (this is especially bad a for the refugees who are not permitted to take part int he country’s economy and are not paid for their [...]

Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad

This is one of those sick sad weekends where taking a break from my 15 page term paper means doing my Greek homework.
I talked to Joey last night online. We had a chat last month about trying this whole rfiendship thing a second time and he said he needed to talk to his girlfriend about [...]

HUT

My Thailand team spent last weekend at HUT (Harding University Tahkoda). It is a training camp for third world missions. This camp is what makes Harding the third best training facility in the world. Usually it is a two week summer course but for our intern training we were only taken out for a weekend. [...]

One of “Us”

For the first time since I came to Harding they threw out the scheduled chapel service and opted for a time of prayer. We read Lamentations 3:
 ”…I called on your name, O lord, from the depths of the pit; you heard my plea, ‘Do not close your ear to my cry for help!’ You came [...]

Virginia Tech

It’s the worst school shooting in American history. It’s all anyone talked about in class today. Several of my classmates have friends there, but all of them are o.k. It’s wierd to hear about things like this. It makes you wonder about your own school. When the Columbine shootings happened I was in Junior High. [...]

Lavosh

  I decided to make lavosh the other day becasue the name sounded cool. The bread itself is rather boring. Boring bread should have boring names.
My poison ivy has spread all over my legs and an arm. My left leg is one mass of puffy, bloody, oozing flesh. My right thigh is the same. When [...]

New Beginnings

Susanna, Brandon, James and I officially committed ourselves to being a team to Asia yesterday. We aren’t sure where yet. We are looking seriously at India or Thailand. Our plan is to leave in two years, after James and Brandon graduate, at the earliest, or four years giving us all two years to work on [...]

Pedofile

So an update on our kayaking escapade: Susanna’s camera was still under warranty (what kind of warranty includes waterfalls?) so it is being fixed and her memory card was fine after drying out so here are some pictures of our day. (please note the responsible ones of us who are wearing our life jackets.) Brandon’s [...]

The Passover

  My small group from Covenant (my church) has a traditional passover meal every Easter week. It was actually us college kids who started it and run it. Right now I’m baking the unleavened bread. Hannah is cooking the lamb and it smells wonderful and the other guests bring cheeses, herbs, grape juice, olives, honey, and [...]
