Over on Facebook I’ve mentioned once or twice that we’ve been getting a lot of rain. I should specify: by a “lot of rain” I mean that if we get much more, animals are going to start going by two-by-two. What we are experiencing is abnormal, even for rainy season. Here’s a video showing a…
Last night it was my privilege to participate in the quarterly youth rally of UMBREMA – which stands for União das Mocidades Batistas Regulares do Maranhão, or, in English, Union of Regular Baptist Youth Groups of Maranhão.

Well…sometimes…missions is a walk in the park, if by that you mean an actual walk in the park. Let’s back up a little. It started with just me. In my never-ending quest to get my weight down to where it should be, I took up running. This was back in November. Most days my running…
