Welcoming Myself Back

It's been eight months since I've blogged.  So much has happened in that amount of time; so much that the blogging world will never know about.  I have received this question many times during the summer months:

"Why did you stop blogging?"
...My answer in short, because the internet is slow.  :)  

However, I will continue to write, and occasionally put up pictures (when I have several hours to wait for it to load).

This semester, I will be blogging about:

1. Sermons from my church (among other places) 
2. Interesting quotes or information from my online classes
3. And general interesting things about living and working overseas.

Today, I am thankful for Air Conditioning, $5 candles, and Sondov bakery.
