Tuesday, January 27, 2015. The wonder and the reality seem equally hard to capture into one image or description. It all blends together, into one incredible journey. One indescribably complex country. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I didnt expect to feel culture shock. Not coming . Eat, Pray, Love, Run.

Nesam: Language Barriers
http://nesam-journey.blogspot.com/2015/02/language-barriers.html
We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey." John Hope Franklin. Thursday, February 26, 2015. It's definitely given me more empathy for the Montagnards and other immigrants who come to the U.S. and have to depend on others to do even basic things that require language proficiency. It was a nice moment of surprise connection. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Thursday, February 26, 2015. We had met him the day before in Kon Tum and luckily we recognized him and he led the taxi driver just a few hundred yards up the hill, down the correct fork in the road, to our destination. It felt like we spent the rest of the day eating and drinking our way around the village!

Nesam: Freedom to Be
http://nesam-journey.blogspot.com/2015/03/sabbatical-freedom.html
We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey." John Hope Franklin. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Being on sabbatical has been a real gift. To have time to just be. It’s a nice sense of freedom. That church, and leave the rest up to God. God’s work in the world will go on with or without us. New life will spring up whether we are there to witness it or not. May knowing this fill us...

We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey." John Hope Franklin. Monday, February 27, 2012. Sometimes, it's harder to say things simply and directly. This past Sunday, I preached the same "basic" sermon 3 times, in 3 different settings. Even though the central message stayed the same, I re-wrote it for each service to tailor the style and wording for the audience. You die without knowing.
