Actually, this picture was taken in Bangkok, a couple blocks from the guest house where we stayed.  America is evidently not only exporting its food, but also its corruptions of the Gospel: (I do understand this shouldn’t be taken literally, and I did chuckle when I saw it…)

Though I will expand on these ideas when Elizabeth and I give our presentation on Sunday, Dec. 7, here are a few items that I’ve been thinking about at the conclusion of our trip: I have always appreciated what Jack and Susie have shared about Pathway to Hope.  Now having seen it up close, and […]

These days have been filled with some sightseeing of significant local sites, and beginning to travel home by leaving Cambodia and returning to Bangkok for the preparation of our return flight home.  On Friday, we traveled to Angkor, which is an ancient area of prominence in Cambodia, comprised of a number of cities and dozens […]

This afternoon (Thursday), after finishing the teaching sessions in the morning, Jack and Susie took us to several villages to visit more of their sponsorship children, one of their elders, and a church pastored by one of their men. It is humbling to see the way in which most of these people live — yet […]

The last two days, Jack and I completed the teaching sessions, covering the topics the example of Jesus as the great teacher the various methods of teaching how to prepare a lesson to teach A couple thoughts as we have finished. I had a professor in seminary who had several graduate degrees, and who was […]

These days have been full of teaching, studying, fellowship, and attempts at sleeping.  There just has not been as much time to keep up my journal and blog as I anticipated there would be.  One unexpected pleasure has been the ability to call home several times.  The other day I called Raye Jeanne and the […]

Well, internet is fairly available, but it is slow, so I won’t be able to post pictures until I return home (I have 125 so far; I don’t know how many Elizabeth has, though I do know she has some video). We have adjusted fairly well to the time change, though the humidity is still […]

We made the trip from Bangkok to the border of Cambodia in about three hours on Friday morning, crossed over with relative ease, and were met by Jack and one of the house parents, Pachan.  How good it was to be greeted by their smiling faces! As our bodies are still on Granbury time, so […]

This morning, our long anticipated trip to Cambodia began — two long flights that stretched over two days: DFW to Tokyo — 13 hours, leaving Wed. at 10:00 a.m. Tokyo to Bangkok — 7 hours, leaving Thurs. at 4 p.m. (Tokyo is 15 hours ahead of Granbury; Bangkok is 13 hours ahead) We arrived in […]
