News and Links

I am still having some trouble with blogspot. I was informed by our internet provider that they were told to block the blogspot site... I'll look into it more when I get a chance. I am realizing that blogging is becoming more difficult because I am finding less available time during the day and in the evenings, I am pretty wiped out and ready to go to bed. My goal is to keep blogging, but we will see. I am still hoping to write more on a personal note what I've been thinking about and feeling recently. Meanwhile, I wanted to post some links for those of you who are interested in knowing more about the tense political situation here.

No quitting on blogging yet...

I'll be blogging again soon. I needed a little break. I'm also experiencing some problem with blogspot--I can't view any blogs from blogspot, including my own. It looks like I can post but cannot view...

We returned a couple of days ago from Thailand feeling refreshed. Unlike last year around this time, I have experienced absolutely no culture shock upon returning and the transition has been smooth. I've been sharing with folks that I feel as though I have crossed some invisible line of cultural adjustment and the place where I live and work feels more like home. I have had a lot of time to think, reflect, pray, eat variety of food, enjoy the beach, read, and be with some wonderful people. I'll be writing more later, but I need to get off now... but I wanted to post a short blog so that people won't think I have quit blogging! Hopefully, I could figure out what the problem is and why I can't access blogspot. See you all soon.
