Hey y’all-
We’re one month away from a trip to Hong Kong. We stay there for a few meetings and head to the US on January 2nd. This trip is coming to an end really fast.
Here are my thoughts on going home. Great. Awesome. Ready to see some friends, drink some coffee, and tell some tales. [...]

Hey y’all-
Thanksgiving has come, wreaked its havoc on my waistline, and gone in a swirl of indigestion and vows to “never do that again…” Some reflections:
1. Being away from the family was a little tough on ‘ol Uncle Jeff. My Mom, Dad, sister, brother-in-law, Grandma, niece, nephews, aunt, uncle, cousins, etc. all got together in [...]

Hey y’all-
It’s Thanksgiving in the United States, so I thought I would post a few things I am thankful for. Hope you can relate…
1. I am thankful for Jesus. (This is an obvious one.) He is my Lord, my Savior, my Friend, my Brother, my Redeemer, my Intercessor, and He wants to be all of [...]

Hey y’all-
A friend posted an interesting blog on the topic of sin.
Here is the link: http://robintaipei.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/sin-what-is-it/
The Chinese language doesn’t really have a great translation for the idea of sin, so he is trying to clear the air over here. Check it out…
Thoughts?

Hey y’all-
I thought I would post a quick note on Thanksgiving. Our friends in Taiwan hear about Thanksgiving, but they don’t really understand what we are celebrating. Also, people in the United States hear of Thanksgiving and do not really understand what we are celebrating. Let me tell you a bit about it…
Thanksgiving came about [...]

Hey y’all-
We went to Taroko Gorge National Park in eastern Taiwan this past weekend. It was beautiful. In reality, there was so much to see and experience, that it is hard to process it all. So, I thought I would post some thoughts about the trip (and pictures) and leave it there for now. Then, [...]

Hey y’all-
I sent this message to a few friends of mine here in Taiwan. The backstory: we have been hanging out and talking about God and salvation. So, I wanted to give a clearer picture of salvation and that can be done through email better than in person. Why? Because a lot of our Taiwanese [...]

Hey y’all-
We went to see the movie 2012 last night. It’s pretty good. Lots of crazy action that could never happen, but it’s a movie. What do you expect?
The movie has brought up a lot of folks asking serious questions. Will the world end? How? When? Can I survive it?
Also, the movie has some biblical [...]

Hey y’all-
I posted about the movie 2012 yesterday. We are going to see the movie this afternoon in Taipei with some friends of ours from a local college. So, since we are going to see such a big movie with a big theme, I thought I would ask some of the “big” questions.
Here they are: [...]
