Last month featured the faces of four women from Mozambique. This month I thought I would show some men. One of the things that I have come to appreciate while living in Africa is the beauty and variety of the people that live here. Just within Mozambique there are distinct ethnic groups each with their [...]

Hey everybody, Do you ever wonder how Bible translations are funded? Where do projects like the Nyungwe Bible translation get funds to pay salaries, rent offices and print Scriptures? In November I’m going to be highlighting a fund-raising campaign for the Nyungwe Bible translation. Their current fund is dipping dangerously close to zilch. Since [...]

I was tagged by Gentle Wisdom. 10 years ago I was an overwhelmed father of three toddlers unsuccessfully learning the Portuguese language in Lisbon. 20 years ago I was picking through the wreckage of a failed freshman year at Tulane University studying Electrical Engineering. I wrote this poem when I left: My [...]

My weekend of blogging insanity (See: Death by Blog Boredom and From Blog Boredom to Hair Band Stardom) was cut short by lack of Internet access and a non-stop social life. June came by three different houses during the day and each time Hilary and I were drinking tea. Also lots of Spoon madness. Who says being a [...]

A big thank-you to Jim West, Michael Kruse and Eddie Arthur for coming to my rescue. Henry Neufeld is going to be a little late.

Sometimes, it’s a lot more than five minutes.

I heard a voice coming from the clouds and it said, “David, blogging just got dull. Find five fresh blogs worth reading or I’m going to take you home. You’ve got until midnight on Sunday.” Help me out here, folks. Five little-known treasures of the blogosphere. Besides the geniuses that are already on my blogroll, that [...]

Since the previous “mall” photo in Going to the mall created some interest, I put some more mall photos up on my Flickr page. You can see some photos in the sidebar of this blog under “Mozambique Photos.” Also you can click on the photo below to see more photos of the open air market. The photo below [...]

In case you are a WordPress.com blogger and haven’t found her yet… Lorelle on WordPress is the coolest around when it comes to maximizing your freebie account. Check her out. Google brought me to her site for info on verifying my account with Google Webmaster.

I noticed yesterday that WordPress.com at some point got the Incoming Links section of the stats page working again. One thing about using a free service used by a million other people is that when you notice that something isn’t working you don’t even bother to contact customer service. I’ve been playing with informe.com. What [...]
