Goodby Buddy

Today I had to do one of the most difficult things that I have ever had to do. Our golden retriever “Buddy” has been having trouble getting around for some time. Over the last several days it has become clear that he can no longer even stand without help. The time had come for him [...]

A Great Greek Class This Week

Starting on Monday of this week we have had a wonderful guest teacher for a Doctor of Ministry class here at Knox. I have been sitting in on the class while I taught the Koreans in the afternoon and tried to keep up with my other work as well. The class is taught by my [...]

A Wonderful Week Teaching Korean Brothers

What Are the 10 Commandments?

This seems like an easy question, after all we learned them in Sunday School or something like that.  I still remember my own perplexity when my friend and co-worker in children’s ministries, Linda, brought me a pencil that we had been handing out to the kids who learned to recite the commandments.  She told me [...]
