You may have heard the rumors…and I’m here to tell you–they’re true! During the month of July Christa, Anna, and Sarah will all be returning to the Seattle area for a visit. If you do the math, this leaves yours truly in Xining….HOME ALONE!!! Shocking, I know. This was not an easy decision for Christa…

I’m up late tonight. If I have one addiction (and my wife can tick off six more without even blinking) it’s staying up into the wee hours every night… Benjamin Franklin is often quoted as saying, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise…" Mine would go something more like this: …

Here’s a list of things I haven’t seen in a while… Fresh donuts of any variety…let’s make that ANY KIND of donuts of any variety. Morbidly obese people. Let’s face it, there just aren’t fat people here in China. This could be because of the donut thing mentioned in bullet point number 1. I know…

(Although I must admit that this past week was probably the lowest I’ve had on the motivation scale…) Here is an interesting example of one of the reasons I think the language is interesting: he…

This saying (i.e. divide and conquer) is one that I usually apply to times when Christa and I each take one of our daughters and head to our respective corners. We don’t do this because we are fighting. We do this because sometimes a one-to-one ratio works better than a two-to-one OR EVEN a two-to-two. …

I had an idea for a post today that I really wanted to work on, but then I realized a few important things: The last few weeks have been almost-total-chaos busy for me. With the start of school; preparing for two Sunday sessions in a row (lifting and teaching); planning out Christa’s b-day;…

I just got a box from my college buddy Jason. Inside this bles-sed parcel was 9 books and 16 or 18 some-odd CDs. New reads, new tunes. Oh, yeah! I very much appreciate the goods, man. Very much. Christa has already started reading the Krakauer novel, Into the Wild. I am really intrigued by the…
