		<description><![CDATA[In June, Wife and I headed to Ardèche, France for the work &#8220;week&#8221; to help get the retreat center ready for this summer&#8217;s camp. Wife will be the head cook (ordering food that&#8217;s only delivered once a week, preparing it, and following all the French rules); Son 1 will be lifeguard and dishwasher, Son 2 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harding group</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In June we were very blessed to have Robert and his wife and family come with 6 students from Harding University. They joined us for our Sunday afternoon worship after 5 busy days in Geneva. We were able to do the following activities with them:

English conversation groups (3 classes) in two local Lausanne High Schools;

		<title>LST 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Holly and Madison from Oklahoma Christian University spent 6 weeks here in Lausanne with the LST project (Let’s Start Talking). This must have been the twelfth time that we’ve had a group come. This year’s biggest draw was the banner I put up in front of the house. We got 5 or 6 participants that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Romainmotier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just got back from a 45 minute trip to Romainmôtier, an abbey in a monastic village at the base of the Jura mountains. It&#8217;s a little below freezing but as clear as can be. Alps are across the lake, though they seem much closer, while the Jura mountains ring our side of the water.
There was [...]]]></description>

		<title>The end of the year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ll be with about 40 Christians tonight to pray in the New Year. Sounds like a great way to bring in 2010.
2009? Well, although I loved certain days, there were some pretty rough times right in the middle of it. Bad news and sad news seemed to fill up the Spring and Summer, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jesus talk and growing up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are at least two &#34;church&#34; sentences that tend to scare me. The first is: &#34;Jesus spoke to me.&#34; That one always gets me, not because I don&#8217;t think that Jesus can speak to folks, I&#8217;m just not sure that he does. An older man from church told me he is writing a letter he [...]]]></description>

		<title>A job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These last two days, I have been working in a company that is laying off employees. It&#8217;s the first time they&#8217;ve taken these kinds of measures in their 100 year history and it has been painful for their whole &#34;family&#34;.&#160;
I&#8217;m amazed: People are tough and have resources that go deep. The HR people have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Minarets in Switzerland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Switzerland voted yesterday not to allow the construction of any more minarets on its territory. Here are my observations: 
The polls before the vote showed that only 37% of the voters were for the ban. Someone had to be lying, for 57.5% ended up voting yes. 
The media had declared that the initiative would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I survived.&#160;
First, 26 miles is a long way to run, walk or crawl.
 Second, the first 13 miles are much easier than the second 13.
Third, no matter how long it takes, getting to the finish feels very, very good.
It was a hilly course (the publicity said it was &#34;mostly flat&#34;) but the weather was perfect, [...]]]></description>

		<title>This little race</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My kids told me that, yes, it is true. The guy who ran from Marathon to tell the king his troops had won the battle died after delivering his message.
Tomorrow, wife and I are attempting the same feat, but at a different place and, we hope, with a different result. It&#8217;s called the Beaujolais Marathon. [...]]]></description>
