No, I don’t have one. But if you’ve got one, I’d like to use it…
Two things I saw on USA Today’s web page:
Al Gore’s Nashville home used 191,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in 2006 (and I don’t think he’s even there all the time). The average Nashville household uses about 15,600 kilowatt hours per year. [...]

Wife and I try to remember every 26th of every month. Sometimes the day slips by without one of us greeting the other with the mandatory “Happy 26th”, but not often.
However, the 26th of February is a never-to-forget day. For on this 26, Wife and I celebrate 24 years of happy marriage.
It’s amazing, phenomenal, blessingtudinal [...]

We are having a weekend retreat with the Geneva church. It has been very encouraging.
I would appreciate it if you’d keep “Mary” in your prayers. I have not heard from her. I informed the police in the part of the country where she lives so that they could contact her. After a couple of hours, [...]

Continued from February 20… (see way below…)
Wife’s Dad (F-I-L) finally told me that if I got a Mac, I could make a printer network and use his LaserWriter. So I bought my first Mac, an SE FDHD, in March of 1990 (8 MHz). It had a 9 inch monochrome screen and cost about $2,900.00. It [...]

Wife’s dad (F-I-L) loved technology. In 1984, Mother-in-law already had one of those daisy wheel typewriters that could remember a one-page letter. It would even pause so you could type in a name for a personalized letter. We used that machine to write our first mission newsletters. Amazing. Plus, F-I-L had two IBM Selectrics, one [...]

Haylina, one of your sisters from Marseilles, is in a hospital bed dieing from cancer. She has a boy who is 16 and another who is about 9. Their father is violent and has never taken care of them, so the Marseilles church has stepped in. They are caring for the boys now, and after, [...]

Yes, we do celebrate Valentine’s day here. Wife and I get little gifts for the kids… I for Daughter and Wife for Sons 1 and 2.
My mom would always get us something special for the day: A MAD magazine or a spy novel. And she would always sing to wake us up:
Be my Valentine,Be a [...]

In 2006, 59,600 people died in Switzerland. 800 less than expected, according to government authorities.
But, as George Bernard Shaw put it:
“The statistics on death are quite impressive. One out of one people die.”
So, my friends, live well today. I know you will.

Mary* became a Christian about 3 years ago. She moved to another part of Switzerland last year and I encouraged her to dedicate herself to a local church in that part of the country (where there are no churches of Christ). She found a charismatic group not too far away and has been attending there [...]

Last week, our just-turned-Swiss Son 2 got his first official letters from the Swiss authorities. One of the envelopes contained his tax forms for 2006. Not too hard. Just zeros across the board and a signature on the bottom of the last page.
He also received a letter from the Army. Every Swiss man must do [...]
