This is for my sister, mother, wife, several aunts on both sides of the family, and a bunch of friends who are nurses. Also for my daughter who is in training to be a nurse. I don’t know what the figure would be in the U. S., but I bet it would be pretty good.
I’m up in these parts, far from the sunny beaches, to be with my mother for her 90th birthday which is today. She is an amazing woman who is still lively, uses a cane but walks too quickly for many younger people, continues to volunteer in projects at church, helps tutor people who are willing…
September 22 is a difficult day for me and my family. Ten years ago, on September 22, our son/brother James went home. I cannot describe it as anything else. While it left us with a deep sense of loss, there was a certain triumph, and a definite peace about the way James left. I’ve been…
I want to call attention to Dave Black’s blog. I’ve posted some extracts over at The Jesus Paradigm, the support site for one of Dave’s books I publish. Dave’s site doesn’t provide an option to link to specific posts. It is very much like an online journal. I can’t link to every specific item that…

What’s that picture? I’m glad you asked. That’s my computer with layout work for the forthcoming Spanish translation of Dave Black’s Greek grammar. It’s an interesting bit of work. I was thinking yesterday that it doesn’t get much tougher than this, but then I recall working in graduate school on translating Akkadian into English using…
Well, nurses do seem to care sincerely with their patients, much more so than doctors. I have several cousins and aunts who are nurses all over the world.
