cool stuff that is coming up

Carnivallogo_10 This week's Carnival of Beauty is hosted by Ellen, and the topic is "The Beauty of the Psalms."  There is still time to submit your post if you wanna participate this week.  If you haven't participated before, please make sure you check out the guidelines over at Sallie's blog.

Memesummer The Christian Women Online ladies have started a new meme that looks like fun.  They will give a quote on Fridays which is to inspire blog posts by Christian women around the world.  On Tuesdays, you can visit CWO to find a list of links to the blogs that participated.  Sounds like fun . . . I will try it out after my vacation is over! 

But if you wanna go for it--this week the deadline is quickly approaching--so get inspired QUICK!! :)

12women_1 After talking about the value of reading for a week, the girl talk ladies are starting a girl talk book club.  The first book is one I just bought, Twelve Extraordinary Women by John MacArthur. 

Here is how they say the club will work:

* We’ll pick a book and post it on our sidebar.
* Each week, we will read one chapter and we hope you’ll read with us.
* Along with the chapter assignment, we’ll ask a question, and invite you to submit your answer.
* Among the answers, we will choose one to post.
* That person will receive an author-signed copy of the Girltalk Book Club selection.
* We will also comment on the chapters as we go along.

They are giving everyone a week to buy the book and then will started.  If it sounds like something that suits you, go check it out!

taiwan tour Sam and I are leaving for our Tour of Taiwan today. :) I am so excited!! School is now over. Grades are turned in. We've had our final departmental meeting. Our Summer English Camp is even over too! My office at school is all packed and in boxes. It is time to party and to explore, to go and to see!! We are going to Meinong this weekend (where I lived for a year). Then we will go all the way north to my friend's home. From there, we will travel up to see things in Tapei (like the world's tallest building and art that is thousands of years old). Then on our way back down south, we will visit a friend in Taichung and then spend a day in Tainan. Have I mentioned that I am excited? I might even be more excited than Sam! (Although, he begs to differ.) _________ ***Updated*** There is only one damper to all this excitement that we have to battle. :( A typhoon is coming!! Just now, as I was typing, it started to rain. So I popped over to the weather site for Taiwan and found this: You see all those little rain clouds right? One for every single day of our trip!!! :( This little chart and the rain outside my window made me go from this: To this: But . . . I guess we will just have to try and have fun in the rain because we are going to go on our Taiwan Tour no matter what!! But, we will make safe choices, Mom and NeeNee--I promise. And, regardless of the weather, we will take lots of pictures to share with you when we come back around the 18th. So, see you again then!

trip to meinong Well . . . our trip to Meinong was WATERLOGGED!! :) Our bike ride was a blast! Sam loved every minute of riding in the rain. I had fun . . . but in the process my cell phone died and my new camera now has a humidity problem. :( I told Sam that if it rains in Taipei we are going to continue to have our "this is fun" attitude no matter how wet we get. We can't let the rain ruin our fun. We might not be able to choose the weather, but we can choose our attitudes! Anyway, we stopped at my apartment for one night to wash clothes, get a good sleep and repack. In a few hours, we are headed north. Since I had a minute, I uploaded our Meinong pictures! Enjoy!! www.flickr.com p.s. Thank you Sandy and Michael for letting us stay with you in Meinong!!
