Just a few interesting posts for you to browse today …

  • Driving home late, in the rain, is not the time when you want to hear Not a Good Sound!  Plus, Mexicans and Bibles.
  • No news is big news – don’t miss the Peace in Kenya!
  • Could it be?  Someone is more interested in these books than you are… who’s going to win in Books, Wonderful Books! (Haiti)
  • It’s always fun hearing about missionaries who are new on the field.  Check out this fact-filled post from Kenya:  in Kamba-land.
  • I really enjoyed this post (probably because I’ve written posts like it) about re-entering the home culture after being away.  The title?  Please Forgive Me In Advance! (Chile)
