thailand and back again

i'm taking advice of a friend and am posting some photos of thailand. thanks for the encouragement, bryan. erin and julia and i went to see the penningtons the first two weeks of april. a rejuvenating visit for us, and great fun. photos are of the beach in krabi (i never really thought much of beaches until krabi), elephants (not a particularly smooth ride, but awesome creatures), songkran (สงกรานต์, "water festival": the traditional thai new year celebration most noted for a ton of waterfights), and julie with julia.

also, i came away with a new enthusiasm about Jesus' kindom of love advancing in the world.

if you still haven't seen the pennington's blog, check it out here.

I found you on the Pennington's blog. I'm Mike Stegemoller's Tennessee cousin :) Delighted to "meet" you...your sister Ashlie is one of my favorite people in the world :) I hope she and the little ones are all doing well? :)
