Twelve more days until Christmas!


Christmas is coming
...and that puts a smile on my face too!


I am still here in San Diego, temporarily living in a

little camper which is parked in my brother's

backyard. My brother, his wife and their four

children live a very simple life, but they are

very generous people! They have made difficult

choices through out their lives which means

doing without some of the luxuries we as

American have come to expect. Instead they

have purposed to invested in their children.


It's fun to see their kids fully enjoying the

freedom of being CHILDREN...running from

one end of the yard to the other chasing lizards

or butterflies, romping through the mud, laughing,

or curling up with their parents for a bedtime story,

a song and prayers before bed.


It's such a different life than hundreds of the

children who live on the streets of Bangkok
