Scene: To squash the ridiculous craving du jour, Mike and I agreed that after dinner one night, we would find a place where I could obtain a blue raspberry slushie.
William: Mama, what you want a blue slushie for?
Me: I don’t know, pal, you’ll have to ask the baby.
William (yelling at belly level): HEY BABY!!!! WHAT YOU WANT A BLUE SLUSHIE FOR????
(pause…)
William: What...
Analo
With William down at the beach with his grandparents, we left for the mountains on Saturday morning to so spend time with family. Honestly, it was a research trip to gain information on that side of the family. I had the chance to speak with a distant relative of mine whose name was Analo. Analo was very impressive with the knowledge he had about family in his head. He grew up in a family with...
9-11 story part 2
I’m a little late on relaying the next portion of our story.
On 9-8 we purchased tickets for the observation deck of the WTC. I had been up on top a few times before, but this day stood out to me as we were taking a good friend there for his first time. As we were waiting in line for access to the elevator, a small child was screaming and said defiantly that he did not want to go. His...

post-Check IT Out
I’m making this post a little later than I wanted, but we’ve been on the constant move since last Friday. We are both exhausted and feel over extended, but our trip was a good one.
The two days of conference was good to hammer in some Wycliffe concepts of how important translation work is. They really didn’t need to do that, as we are totally on board with that. We got some...

God was gracious on our trip and we arrived safely and checked into our hotel that has wireless internet. So I’m writing a quick post to let everyone who knows about this trip to be updated on our thoughts.
We registered for two conferences back in May-June of this year. One was called, “Total It Up” which TOTAL stands for “Taste of Translation and Linguistics.” ...
our 9-11 story - part 1
The week before was miserable as I worked many late hours in order to “turn a building on.” It was also said that we “lit the building” or “brought service to the building.” What does that mean? Ha! Well 6 years ago I worked for an Internet Service provider based out of Newark, New Jersey. We had the solution to what was known as “the last mile”...

More from the Peanut Gallery
Mike’s mom (“Gaw”) and William are sitting on the porch, “enjoying” the summer weather.
Gaw: “Just think, William, this time next year we’ll have a new baby!”
William: (after brief pause to think) “We’re going to have a new baby too!!!”
(Point of clarification: Gaw is NOT expecting)

…we said, and I believe, that God wants every man to have a Bible. It makes a difference in my praying. Why? Because I can’t go before God, honestly, and ask Him:”Lord, you’ve given me the whole Bible.” I’ve got multiplied versions. I’ve got more versions than I know what to do with! But what...
