About Me… May 24, 2007
Although I’ve lived in Zimbabwe, New Jersey, Indiana, Washington, D.C., and Pasadena… Japan is now home for us…We love being here with our three children.
Owen is 5… Annie is 3… Olivia is 1 1/2. Our Maltese dog Molly (9) completes our family.
We are working with Asian Access to plant churches in Japan. (Check out Asian Access’ website). We love what we are doing…
A few other things that I love: trying new recipes…refinishing furniture with Eric…remembering and actually using a new Japanese word that I have just heard…squid tempura…watching the sun set out our kitchen window behind the neighborhood temple…the new Starbucks that just came to Sanda…grilling out… seeing Jesus change people’s lives…being with my sisters…hearing our children laugh hysterically for no important reason… 24 (please don’t tell us anything about Season 6 because it hasn’t come to Japan yet)…letting Jesus change my life…cabbage salads - we’re still working away at a low-carb diet…going for walks in the neighborhood …LTGs… biking with one of our children on the back of my Japanese bicycle…Outback Steakhouse in Osaka…Psalm 139.
Not/as/interesting information about me: I got my BA in English Lit and Political Science from Taylor University; my MA and PhD from Fuller Theological Seminary in Intercultural Studies/Leadership Development…
Sue, this was worth the time! I’m not sure I am brave enough to do blogging! The kids are getting big and seem really happy.
Craig and Yumiko left us a week ago and we are bereft. They are in Florida for a few days, then on to California for “training”. Soon they will join you in Japan!
It is a hot, lovely day here. This morning I joined my husband for the first time ever in his “new” kayak. Actually, I gave him a kayak-building kit for his birthday many years ago. This project took 6 or 7 years! It was a birthday gift that kept on giving. Anyway, today was my first ride in it and it handled well. We both decided it was perfect for two people. Now he needs to build a one-seater for those days when I can’t go along for the ride!
May God be gracious to you,
Love, Marj
Wow, Sue! What a great job you’ve done with the blog! You’ve really gone to town with it. At first I was taken a back by the pictures of you… and then Eric… Owen… Annie… family I soooooo dearly miss. And then there’s Olivia… who’s a little girl already and I completely missed that part of her life! All that to say, THANK YOU for starting a blog so I can get caught up on the big things and the little things in your lives.
Deepest love,
Ang
