The Great Commission is our Mission.
Why write a psalm? Why not? My reasons are: God is worthy of thanks, praise, and worship. Writing and reciting or singing a psalm is one way to give God the honor He deserves. We are made to worship God, so entering into true worship of our loving Father gives us joy and peace. Praising …
Read More Why write a psalm?I like email. It is much faster, much cheaper, and more environmentally friendly than paper mail. Email follows me when I travel, without having to give people a new address. Email is useful for personal communications, newsletters, discussion lists, and some kinds of business. Unfortunately, the advantages of email have not escaped the notice of …

Read More Another Resurrection Story!Just in case you read my last posting about our Toshiba notebook computer and were curious about the outcome… I had to send it to the Toshiba repair depot. I got it back a little over a week later, and so far, it is working right. The hard drive was replaced, so I have to …
Read More Resurrection of a Toshiba computerI like to hear stories of what God is doing today. Yes, the records of what God has done in Bible times are truly great. There is something immensely reassuring about what God is doing today. Jesus Christ truly is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God raised up a young boy who died in …

Read More Resurrection in Asaro country, Papua New GuineaNo, we didn’t make a time machine, but we came close to time travel. In February 2002, my family and I traveled to Papua New Guinea. During the village living phase of the SIL Pacific Orientation Course (sometimes called Jungle Camp), we lived with people who were not far out of the stone age. Yes, …
Read More Out of the Time MachineWhat, exactly, is the purpose of this part of our web site? Good question. After all, we already have a “conventional” web site, plus two email mailing lists (one for most people, with pictures, and one for people with very slow and/or expensive Internet connections), plus a paper mailing list. So far, this blog is …
Read More What is this blog for?News flash: after living out of suitcases since the 19th of June, we will finally have a place to unpack our suitcases next month. 🙂 We signed a lease, today. May God bless our landlords for letting us lease their very nice house for less than they could have made renting that place. This will …
Read More New and AncientI was very happy when I was given money to buy a new notebook computer for my Bible translation support work, over a year ago. I carefully researched options, and it came down to two choices: a Toshiba Satellite P35 or a very similar Dell notebook computer. They were about the same, but the Toshiba …
Read More Toshiba Computer WoesI have finally gotten around to getting a WordPress web log up and running. I’m sitting here with my daughter on my lap.
