A Dim Sum Pic

This is one of our Dim Sum meals. Pictured are the fine folks who have been hosting us in Hong Kong - K.Y. and Dong. 

Heading out to Bethany today to enjoy fellowship with the staff there.

Eating Our Way Across The Pacific

We have been eating our way across and thru the Pacific

Hong Kong has some of the most amazing food around.  Last night we went to the canteen at Shatin Baptist Seminary to eat.  Uni campus? Canteen? Good Food? Bad Location. Doesn't sound like the right combination. The place was packed. The food was great.  Also great fellowship with good friends here.

The reason - they hired a great chef to get people in to help support the seminary thru the restaurant.  Pastors need to learn early about the way to put church and food together.  Great combination.

Hong Kong is known for Dim Sum.  We are about to have our 3rd meal of Dim Sum since arriving.

I was preparing my palet on the way across the Big Pond as I had two meals of Bi Bim Bop. That's one of the choices on Korean Airline. I had it flying from Seattle to Seoul and had it again flying from Seoul to Hong Kong. 

This is what all those heavy meals eventually did to me.  This was about 1 hour before I spoke to the Good Friday home gathering.  It's a good way to do a sermon prep.  Jane thinks this is a great picture.

Victory in Jesus

This is the view out our window.  The sun almost appeared the 2nd day we were here. It has been rainy, misty, cloudy all the time. We are ready for some sunshine. It really helps get over jet lag.  Actually The Lord has really blessed us with good sleep for which we give thanks.  Had a great celebration of Jesus' great victory over death.  Thanks so much for praying for that.

Good Friday, Resurrection Day Sharing

It is Good Friday
It is good for us as Jesus was willing to pay the great sacrifice for our sins that we might have everlasting life - life to the full.
Appreciate your prayers as will be sharing at a home group Friday evening.  That's about the time my brain tells me, "What are you doing up at this hour?" [Jet lag can attack at any hour.]

Sharing with a Filipino church of 30 to 40 folks Sunday morning. Our good friend, Diane Lawrence, for whom many of you have been praying, will be leading the singing.
Thanks for your prayers for sharing God's Good Word at these meetings.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POND

Three flights, 24 hours of flying time, 4 meals plus snacks and landed on the dot of 10:30 pm at Hong Kong International airport on Wednesday night. Good friend and her nephew were waiting with their van to take us to her home in Ma On Shan area of Hong Kong.

Before we boarded our first flight, LeRoy struck up a conversation with a young Indonesian man studying in Lewiston, Idaho. He was on all the same flights we were and hadn't been home to see his family in 5 years.  Makes me so thankful that I was born American and have the time, resources and finances to travel regularly to see family and friends on both sides of the 'Big Pond".  Our seatmate on the Seattle to Seoul flight was a Microsoft employee that hadn't seen his family in South Korea in a long time.  he has to fly back to the States early Sunday morning!

Recent revelation for me is that God and I are on a first-name basis.  Intellectually I knew that God 'knows my name' but now I know His name.

Thanks for journeying with us for the next month.

Reading Nana and The Bull

Everyone is reading Nana and The Bull.  Even engineers are reading it.

Snowing on Spring

It's April 1 in Spokane and it's snowing.  This is not a joke.
