A few Easter pictures. It was a weird weekend, so there’s not too many pictures. We did enjoy ourselves though…

While riding in a taxi cab today, Anna noticed two dogs running on the sidewalk beside us. She said, "Oh, look. I wonder if those dogs are strains." Then she noticed a guy catching up with them and said. "Nope, they’re not strains. There is someone taking care of them." Meanwhile, Sarah still pronounces many…

"I realize there is nothing more astonishing than a human face…It has something to do with incarnation…Any human face is a claim on you, because you can’t but understand the singularity of it, the courage and the loneliness of it." –from Gilead by Marilynne Robinson And for more photos by Jeremy Leffel, click here…

Very briefly I just wanted to let everyone know that the Johnson family is doing fine. There’s been a lot of media attention out this way (more than we realized!) and for some of you that may have been a bit alarming. There were some "different scenes" around town over the weekend, but we stayed…

The other day Anna and Sarah were watching the children’s animated version of The Passion. Sarah got upset after Jesus was crucified and died. Anna, big sister that she is, reassured her with the following words: "Don’t worry. He’ll come alive again. Piece of cake." Piece of cake. I like this picture above. I has…

I talked about gratitude in my last post, so I thought I should dish some out. Here’s some things I am grateful for at the moment… Spring seems to have sprung (or started to) here in Jianzha. It’s gorgeous outside and warming up a little bit more each day. Blue skies and nice mountain views…
