On the post I referenced earlier, the conversation quickly fell into an typical Protestant/non-Protestant debate. One of the comments said, in part: I am happy enough where I am because I see behind the green curtain. The ties to RC have taught me there are a lot of wonderful catholic believers, who in many ways live […]

On those who are happy to be Protestant
On a post on another blog, the writer posted a whole note on why he is happy to remain a Protestant. He starts out by saying: Because I’ve been wrestling with Protestant/Catholic issues through-out this past year, I receive a lot of email from those who have moved outside of their lifelong evangelicalism and somewhere […]
Obama about to allow Cubans to visit Cuba
The news came out today that President Obama plans to relax the travel restrictions to Cuba for those of us who have relatives on that island. And, I must admit that something in my heart leaped up and was glad. Please understand, this is not a political comment in any way. Rather, it is the […]
The Choco mission and the inner city
I suspect that this will be my final post, at this time, about the Choco mission. But, I wanted to point out that there is a relationship between the Choco mission and the work that my wife and I were involved with in the inner city. Unfortunately, it is a sad relationship. I am talking […]
The Choco mission, part 05
In my previous post on Choco I mentioned that, “I now look back and wonder whether or not there was truly something calling out to me that night, something that was not of God, but also could not harm a servant of God.” The reason I mention that is the following story from the Choco mission. […]
USA Justice is now very frightening
Yesterday the news came out that the Justice Department was asking the courts to not only stop the appeal process in the case of Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska but also to reverse the conviction because of what was termed “shocking” prosecutorial misconduct. The judge himself had already found the prosecutors guilty of contempt of court […]
The Choco mission, part 04
One of the things one learns in foreign missions is the difference between the classroom and what actually happens. Classroom situations are always written after the fact. And, we all know how easy it is to look by and analyze a situation by hindsight. Nevertheless, the classroom learning does help to prepare one for the […]

The Choco mission, part 03
So, how did I get involved personally in the Choco mission? Well, it was all because of Fr. Alejandro. He went the first time, and he also went a follow up time. My assumption and encouragement was that he would be the one to keep going out there. After all, he speaks Quechua; he had […]
The Choco mission, part 02
I mentioned the last post that the 1998 El Niño rains in Peru caused a massive landslide that blocked one of the streams going by Choco, a stream that had become a raging river. As a result, the river swept over part of the small bluff that houses Choco, killing 34 persons and wiping out […]
