Dharwad, Weds., Aug. 22, 1:48 pm (8/22, 1:18 am)
Anything else that happens on this trip is bonus. This morning, in a time of prayer/waiting/sharing, Hayley spoke about the body of Christ and the different parts we all play. “Maybe we’re the eye right now, seeing what is happening, instead of the hand.” It was absolutely [...]

Dharwad, Wednesday, Aug. 22, 8:26 am (8/21, 7:56 pm)
The picture I didn’t get with my camera, but that is frozen in my brain is Hayley being pulled by smiling girls away from our group to join all 67 girls eating dinner on the floor. They LOVE her, and she is showing them the love of [...]

Dharwad, Tuesday, Aug. 21, 7:46 am (8/20, 7:16 pm)
Last night was great fun with the girls! Hayley was so fun to watch-jumping rope, smiling, doing hand clapping games…she and I each had a girl do this thing to our hands that made you get tingles as she cut off circulation. Josh was a major hit [...]

Dharwad, Monday, Aug. 20, 3:53 pm (8/20, 3:23 am)
We stood by our massive pile of luggage, just off the train in Dharwad, and Hayley spoke my heart: “I like this a lot better than Mumbai.”
This is much more “countryside”, sort of tropical/dirt road beautiful. Josh waited with the luggage, Tessa and Carice jumped on the [...]

On the train, Monday, Aug. 20, 8:33 am (Sun. 8/19 8:03 pm)

Rural India is flashing by the train window, as we travel from Mumbai to Dharwad. We all slept well on the train, very well, so I’ll take some time to catch up.
We all slept hard and long Saturday night, our first good sleep in [...]

Mumbai, Sat. Aug. 18, 5:45 pm (8/18, 5:15 am PDT)
I’m remembering, now that we’ve been here about 12 hours, the “settling in” that happens in a two-thirds world culture. Hayley seems to be doing ok, even well. It’s a completely new experience for her, and different from Bolivia for me.
As we were leaving the plane [...]

Taiwan airport, 8/17/07 8:37 pm (5:37 am 8/17 PDT)
We arrived this morning, looking for the free half day tour and trying to discover where to go. We cleared immigration (as we later found out we shouldn’t have), and got the lay of the land. Ate breakfast (chicken and rice, and a lovely brown hard boiled [...]

Hayley and I are sitting in row 25, seats H and K as I write…the seats are her initials. It’s part of our first sign of grace on this trip.

 When we arrived in Seattle last night, ready to check in for our flight to Taipei, six of our eleven tickets had been cancelled. Josh spent [...]

…which I don’t, because I don’t like the taste…but if I drank coffee, and if we weren’t scattered over thousands of miles, we could sit down together in a corner of Chapters, connecting in the warm hubbub of a coffee shop, and we could talk. You might ask,
So, what happened to your blog? I notice [...]
