My Brother's Visits

The diamond studs help him lose weight!



One of our many feasts














Are we having fun yet?

One of the most difficult things about living overseas is being far away from our family members and friends. So, it is always special to have visitors from abroad. Recently, my older brother, James, has been in town, because of his new business venture. And what a great time we have had together. What does he do when he is here? Of course, he works... verrrrrrry hard... but we also get to play ping pong and eat out. My kids are always so thrilled to have Uncle James around. That's the highlight of their school's nightly journal, capturing all the details such as where we ate, what was ordered and the funny weird jokes they heard from Uncle James. We get to try restaurants that we have never eaten at, even though we've lived in Taipei for 23 years. We get to meet some very interesting people, whose path we would have never crossed. And we get to give "Uncle James" lots of hugs and that beats everything else that we do on these visits.

This reminds me that perhaps that's what God might enjoy the most... not our sacrifices, but if we would just draw near to Him and hug Him each day.

Be glorified!

See Him first!

  2. Mrs. B -- they are GLUED ON... ha, ha, ha... and they have these rheinstone studs and a clear sticky tape on them. I think he paid quite a fortune for them. You should come and we can enjoy the food at the night markets together! You'll love that food more than the fancy restaurant food. James always wants to go to WESTERN RESTAURANTS!!!!!
