I can't believe that we are now less than a week from being in Thailand again... We have quite a bit planned while we are there. We are going to reconnect with old friends, colleagues and students. We are going to travel a bit in-country to see parts of you we've never seen. We are going to re-explore your foods, your culture your unwavering heat!

We look forward to speaking your language and seeing your smiles. We look forward to relaxing in your midst and seeing how the God of the universe is working in the darkest parts of Buddhism and mysticism and is changing the lives of your people. And while we only get be there for a few days this time around, we long to be a part of God's future for Thailand.

Dear Readers,

Thanks for sticking with us these past few months. I realize via my stat tracker that I have lost nearly half of you over the last several months. And if that's you, thanks for coming back. To the rest of you, thanks for sticking around. We hope you will continue to support my wife and I in our endeavor of returning to Thailand and the future that we have there. We look forward to sharing our lives with you in a very special way.

And, if you are interested in getting a FREE gift from Thailand, we'd love to share a bit of the Thai culture with you. I'm being serious here, if you want a little souvenir from Thailand, leave me a comment below. We'd love to bring you something back. All you gotta do is let me know your interest below!

Peace...

Dear Thailand,

There isn't a lot I can't stand about you.  Even the occasional street vendor who tries to charge me 300% the normal cost of the items.  Yeah, I still like you.  In fact, I'll be honest, we've been having a love affair with you since we first met you.  Your warmth, your taste for food, your beauty...and even the way you smell early in the morning.

I'll be honest.  Over the past few years, we have continually longed to see you again.  We had to leave you...but you have never left us.  In less than a month we get to hold you again, smell your smells and tackle your tastes...  and, well, we can't wait...

We feel like you are our first child.  We've even held off children as best we can in hopes that one day we would be with you again...settling in for the long road destined to us in our church planting journey.  We look forward to holding you, feel you and smelling you...

We miss you...

 Tonight I will start a new series as Sara and I ramp up for our return trip to Thailand this Fall.  For some time we've been longing to return to Thailand.  Actually, we've been longing to return since we last left Thailand...the first of last October.

This series will be quick notes and updates about what we miss about Thailand and about what our plans are this time around.  I look forward to sharing our passion with you!

Also, feel free to sign up for our ongoing Thailand updates or respond below with your interest!
