Bob Dylan, Brazilophile Painter
Who knew? Apparently Dylan is a painter, and really likes painting Brazil. A couple of his pictures really capture–in my humble opinion–the “feel” of the country.

Happy New Year!
Yeah, I know, it’s a couple days late. My excuse is that we were on an island in the middle of the Sobradinho reservoir in Bahia. Internet access was “iffy”. The occasion was the New Years retreat (or Retiro da Virada, in Portuguese). Thanks to my friend Júnior (our camera is operating at a less…
So You Think the DMV is Bad… (Re-Post)
A conversation with a friend this morning made me remember this article from about five years ago. I re-post it here for your entertainment. I feel I should preface this post by saying that I love Brazil, and can’t imagine myself living anywhere else. Also, the event I am about to relay could possibly happen…
That Brush with Death
In my last post I mentioned a “brush with death” on our way back from the MAB missionary conference last week. Several people have asked about it, so here–without further ado–is how it went down. Thirty-nine years is somewhat of a milestone–if for no other reason than that it is the last birthday before forty….
Sensationalism, Anyone?
As Mikey and I wandered around the NY State Fair yesterday we came upon this booth, offering us (for $1 a piece) a view of this ferocious giant rat. The picture paints such a disturbing portrait that one hardly notices the little sign off to the right, telling us that it is actually a “cabibara”…
In Limbo: An Update on the Brazilian Homeschooling Movement
A few months ago I published an article about the nascent Brazilian homeschooling movement. Since then many have asked for an update. There has been much movement, but no definite resolution. I will try to summarize what is going on. First off, some took umbrage to my use of the word “ban” in the title…
Brazilian Musical Interlude: Corcovado
It’s been a while since we have featured one of these. The song Corcovado by the incomparable Tom Jobim is one of the most beautiful Bossa Nova melodies ever written. Few things help me relax more than this lovely piece. And nobody sings it better than the Japanese/Brazilian vocalist Lisa Ono. Enjoy. My favorite line…
I’d hang one or two of those on my wall.
Me too, if I could afford them.
Pr. Andrew,
Passei uns meses sem frequentar os blogs, mas agora que tenho net em casa reativei o meu blog e estou tendo novamente o prazer de visitar o seu blog em português.
Sei que às vezes dá uma frustração por não termos a participação do público que queriamos, mas não desanime!
Seu blog é uma benção! Gostaria de ver novas postagens no Caderno Teológico.
Visite também o meu, está novinho em folha e agora é só meu! hihihi =D

Fica na paz!
Débora,
Obrigado pela encorajamento quanto o Caderno Teológico. Estou repensando meu propósito com aquele projeto. Talvez ele volta daqui a pouco. Tambem, meu tempo é bem limitado…e como você sabe, manter UM blog é difícil, imagine dois!
É… eu sei que é difícil mesmo! Digo por experiência própria.
Também sei que seu tempo é bem apertado…
Mas podemos todas as coisas em Cristo que nos fortalece!
Fica na paz!
Estou orando por seu ministério!
