Deep, Thought Provoking Title: June 2013
http://joshualp.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Deep, Thought Provoking Title. Jun 29, 2013. A Father/Daughter Trip to the US. Eva and I will be heading to the US for 3 weeks this summer! We'll be in Michigan for 2 weeks and Illinois for one week. It's a fairly quick trip, and one that will not include Alison and Gabe. So for those three weeks, I will be responsible for Eva all by myself. Making the hard call to, once again, go out to eat because we are tired of cheap spaghetti or peanut butter and jelly (and I can't make anything else). Walk Koda (my...

Deep, Thought Provoking Title: How do we now respond?
http://joshualp.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-do-we-now-respond.html
Deep, Thought Provoking Title. Jun 27, 2015. How do we now respond? I discovered the Supreme Court's ruling while waiting at the theater, checking Facebook one last time before the move started. My newsfeed exploded with status updates, articles, and videos about gay marriage. Controversy flowed freely. Facebook isn't a great forum for controversy - we don't have people in front of us that force us to filter what we say. We are disconnected from the immediate consequences of rudeness. Love looks like tru...

Deep, Thought Provoking Title. Apr 29, 2012. Apr 17, 2012. When Subway first expanded outside of North America in 1984, do you know the first place a franchise was opened? I'll give you one guess. I hope you didn't guess anything other than Bahrain. The picture above was posted by Subway Arabia's facebook page. I don't know where this is, but now I'm curious to try and find it. Apr 13, 2012. Cover of the Book: Masjid Al-Khamees (Khamees Mosque). The first translation post is about Khamis mosque, one of t...

Deep, Thought Provoking Title. Feb 17, 2012. Back to the Peasant's Life. We were spoiled for two weeks, and then a week before that. Alison's mom, Janet, came to visit in January (and sandwiched a trip to India in between her two visits to us). It's always good having her here for a couple of weeks - not least because the kids love having her around. More importantly, she. Gets up at 5:45 with Gabe and Eva (which is a nice break for Alison). Is willing and ready to hold fussy babies. Feb 4, 2012. T: Ther...

Deep, Thought Provoking Title. Apr 6, 2013. Third Time's a Charm. If you have come to the blog before, you probably are already aware that we are expecting our third child. That's right! Apparently we are like gold fish. Gold fish grow to fit the size of the tank. If you put them in a bigger tank, they'll grow bigger (I think it's gold fish. just pick the right animal). We are now in a bigger house, and so our family is expanding. I do know that the baby is currently the size of an orange. About Bahrain ...

Deep, Thought Provoking Title. May 16, 2012. At the beginning of May, Alison turned in her last assignments for her last classes in her masters program. She has toiled for the year and a half - reading books, writing papers and solving problems. All of that while caring for two kids at home, supporting me in my work, and being involved in various church activities. The fruit of the labor is an MA in Curriculum and Instruction. Alison Perkins, MA Teaching and Curriculum. Giving the commencement address.

Deep, Thought Provoking Title. Jul 23, 2012. Many of you know that we've successfully made it back to the States. We are currently at my parents house in Aledo, IL, a small town about three hours west of Chicago. Since being here, we have enjoyed:. A frog jumping contest. Walking to get ice cream. Meeting our sister-in-law, Jenn, in person for the first time! Bike riding, with the kids in a bike trailer. Walking with the kids to parks. Sitting on the porch in the morning before breakfast. Want to see mor...
