Ashley at Church

Image
  This was in a park of Downtown Daejeon.  We went there somewhat often, though it was a bit of a hike from home.  The sidewalks were wide, and we had the triple babyjogger.            Christopher is seated in our Baby Jogger in a park with the Dae Jeong Jah building behind him.     Here we have Nathaniel, Mother, David, and then David seated in the Triple Baby Jogger, crossing a bridge in a Daejeon park.  A Matter of Respect:     In our church, Ashley gets respect from the elderly, and from most men.  They ask her if she wants to go to school. She tells them no, and they do not ask again.  Not so with the  younger women of the church. They have not been able to leave her alone about it.  Or, we begin to think maybe they have for some months and then it happens again.         Ashley wishes the young women would focus more on reading Scripture together and on Gospe...

Christening the Old Home

Burning Man is self-described as a "temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance." However, the management is becoming increasingly desirous of protecting the commercial value of its entity.   Bored Panda Burning Man Images & Quotes :  Energy Consumption   Burning Man Offfici...
