Our family was scheduled to drive to the Malawi border where our daughter is staying with her best friend. However 120 kilometers out of Nampula we had a serious tire blowout followed by a collapsed jack. Thankfully a transport truck came by and the driver and his crew jacked up my Land Rover and [...]

A couple folks have been blogging about how we use the word “just” when we pray. Jan at The View From Her has a funny post about some of the strange things people say while praying: And of course, many of us have noted the use of the word “just.” As in, “God, we [...]

A new look for the new year! A new picture as well. Like it?

Before Thanksgiving we had the chance to get out of Nampula and visit Milevane, 55 kilometers outside of Alto Molocue. It is a high elevation area full of beautiful scenery and an abundance of fresh fruit.  

“Favorite Bible Passages” is a new widget in the column to the right of this text. In it I have begun adding, you guessed it, my favorite Bible passages. If you click on one of them it will take you to an online version of the passage in the Contemporary English Version.

The coming [...]

David McKay has an entertaining post on Bible trumps:

Ever played Bible Trumps? It’s great fun. You shoot down bible teachings with powerful take-no-prisoners characters or verses.

If your minister is expounding the bible’s teaching on the roles of men and women, you can shoot down everything he says with
But what about Deborah?When someone talks about [...]

I don’t know if you suffer from this same disorder.  “Macrolexicophilia” is simply the love of big words.  I have always had this ailment.  When I was a kid I never used a small word when a big one was possible.  Quite the opposite of Orwell’s writing recommendations. When I was in high school my mother told me [...]

Alan at Thinklings put me on to a nifty little post at Leithart about the “Cain” that lives in each of us.  As a father of three boys I see the truth of this every day.  In fact, when crashing, shouting and thumping emanates from a back room I normally just tell visitors, “Oh, that’s just Cain [...]
