The Saturday before Easter a new church was born in Taipei. Its name is:

TGlogo-sm

The last Saturday of May (Memorial Day Weekend) we had a church-wide fellowship cook out supper. Hamburgers, hotdogs, and (almost) all the trimmings. Good food, fellowship, music, and preaching. Here are a few pictures click one to see it larger:

At Flickr there are some photos that are hidden from the public – ask to be a friend.

Finally, I passed the Chinese test! (I’m not certain that is a correct Chinese sentence :-)

I just received word from our language director that I passed the language requirement for my job! (The requirement is very low.)

Although we have lived here for some time now, this is the first language “test” either of us have taken.

I am so relieved :-)   NO MORE PRESSURE!

edit: I talked with my language teacher this morning and found out that I had indeed said it wrong :-(   The verb I used for passed cannot have an object. So, if I want to use that verb, I must say:  Zuìhòu, wǒ de hànyǔ kǎoshì jí gé le!  -OR-  use a different verb . . .  Zuìhòu, wǒ tōng guò le hànyǔ kǎoshì!

Wheaton, IL (May 13, 2010)—Crossway is pleased to announce the new ESV Online. A key part of Crossway’s ESV Digital initiative, the ESV Online is a powerful and convenient tool giving access to the ESV Bible and other resources for understanding and applying God’s Word.

If you haven’t read the ESV or checked out the Study Bible – you’ve really missed out. It is a very nice translation and a beautiful study bible. Click below for all the details!

If you tried to visit our blog over the weekend you were most likely greeted by something other than the blog. Our web host was hacked on April Fools Day and they had to take down all of the sites that they host. Every customer had to have their files re-uploaded from backups. It literally took all weekend. I’m glad I was not them. I’m sure they heard an ear full. I’ve tested almost everything and it seems to be in normal working order for now.

Happy Birthday to our special little girl!!!

Just now realizing that I  haven’t made the obligatory happy new year post.

From our house to yours – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Well, over the last week I’ve spent more time than I could afford trying to get the blog back up and going. I think I’ve restored most of the tweaks and 85% of the older posts. There is still a time gap from November 12, 2008 until Sept. 22, 2009. Fortunately(?) we didn’t post a lot during the last winter and early spring. Unfortunately, if we want those posts back on the blog we’ll have to re-enter them one by one.

So if you see some weird posts appear in your feed reader or over at Facebook, they may be blasts from the past :-)

P.S. I’m trying out a new plugin that should put a tagline at the beginning of the RSS feed that will let people who are reading on a feed reader or Facebook know that it is really a blog post and it will provide a link to our blog. This should be the first post that will have it. . . . We’ll see how obtrusive it is ~
