First Round of Pictures

Since I have not gotten out yet, the only pictures I have are of my room. Enjoy!!

Pictures of my room

First Day in Bangkok

After a bit of a rocky start, things are going very well! Jana was able to take care of the card (no charges made, praise God!) and I got a good night sleep...

Thad is doing better

I talked with Thad over the phone this evening, and upon waking up this morning (technically tomorrow morning for us!) he felt encouraged! Thank you for praying for him! He was very tired when he called earlier, so some of the "down and outness" (if that can be a word!) was due to his exhaustion.

Please continue to pray for him as he figures out money issues while there.

Thad arrived in Bangkok

I have not talked with Thad yet, but he arrived in Bangkok earlier today feeling really tired and discouraged. I missed two phone calls from him, and on both of the messages he sounded pretty down and out...

Leaving for Bangkok

Please pray for Thad?s safety as he travels to Thailand this morning. He will be traveling for a total of 24 hours before arriving in Bangkok, so pray for his comfort and ability to rest as well.

We are uncertain as to the internet capabilities he will have during the conference, but if possible, he will update our website with news and hopefully photos throughout the week.

Dickens - Blessings

"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty;
not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."

~ Charles Dickens

Joel 2:23

"Rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains."

~ Joel 2:23 NIV

Thackeray - Reflection

"The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion..."

~ William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair

World Traveler

Well, Thad is quickly becoming a world traveler...He leaves for a conference in Bangkok, Thailand at the end of November.
