Thankful for the Body of Christ
What a blessing today was! Sid, representing Clearfork Baptist, drove all the way up to deliver a gift and offer words of encouragement. We are so grateful that the Father has allowed us to be a part of this thing called the Body of Christ.
Not Your Everyday Grammar Class
Often people ask us if we are learning language right now in our training. The short answer is “No.” The reason we’re not, we usually explain, is that we do not yet know which people group we will end up among, and that wherever we do end up, the language is probably not going to be aContinue reading “Not Your Everyday Grammar Class”

In the upcoming years we will likely be learning an unwritten language, so we have to be able to recognize, as well as reproduce, many sounds that we English speakers are not used to making. Jim and I both really enjoy this class, so we want toContinue reading “Thankful for Phonetics”
Three years later…
It’s been exactly three years now. In October of 2008 I caught a common virus. One of the symptoms of my sickness was a continual headache, but when the sickness left, the headache stayed. Days went by, weeks went by, and months went by with no relief from my constant, debilitating headache, and with noContinue reading “Three years later…”

A Meaningful Week
The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are worth considering daily. This week preceding Easter, the week of Passover, when these events are often given more focus, I have spent some time reflecting on the crucifixion and resurrection of our incredible Savior. I want to share with you what I hope will be helpful in yourContinue reading “A Meaningful Week”
