And the Winner is…

Thanks to all who entered the drawing for the Psalms CD.  This morning, I wrote your names on pieces of paper and placed them in my favorite Starbucks city mug–Shanghai (yes, I was going to use Tupperware but that would have necessitated me bending down to reach into one of my cabinets, and the way [...]

Giveaway: “Psalms”

Several months ago, I wrote about a CD from Sovereign Grace Music entitled “Psalms”. Here’s some further description:

We’re Home!

Yes, we made it back and you’ll notice there are a number of days missing in the previous posts.  We had a very heavy sightseeing schedule in Beijing, all of us except Evan caught nasty colds, and our struggles with getting onto the Internet made it pretty difficult to get any blog posts or pictures [...]

Technical difficulties

Lisa mentioned that we’ve had trouble posting.  This is Monday night in Beijing and we’re just getting to posting our Xian and travel posts.  WordPress is strange in China and our internet connection has been flaky.  To be fair, this happens in US hotels as well, but we hope that you gentle readers will continue [...]
