Southern Thailand Violence Articles Archive

Click on the title above to go to the archive of articles. The 3 most dangerous counties are about a 10-hour drive from here, so what we get is a lot of warnings and an occasional small incident (like our veterinarian getting his fingers blown off by the plug-in.) Not small for our veterinarian, but smaller than the multi-death bombings, shootings, and mayhem that have become a daily occurrence deep South from here.
I have also kept track of some of the articles in my Thai Political Blog, link on right. I keep them in a separate blog.
Time to make dinner.

I just read thru the political blog and then the prayer blog--I really like that one! Prayed thru every request as I read. Then tried to leave a comment but can't remember my google name and password and am too lazy to try to figure it out.

Whose idea was this anyway?

Teaching English every night from Monday to Friday, that is. It was my idea, of course, so I can't blame anyone else but me! It is more tiring than I thought it would be. I enjoy teaching English, but I think I am overstretching my schedule. Homeschooling all day, then an hour of reading Thai for fluency, then making dinner, then running off to teach English at 6 p.m. This past week was week #2 and I could barely do anything Thursday and Friday evenings. Thankfully, Dean's interns, Kory and Trevor, were there, too. They helped me out so much. After our Friday evening English lesson we have our cell group, Bible study, and I dozed through most of that. Kennedy was away at meetings 5 hours away in another town this past week, but he is back and when we start up this coming week I think we are going to have to switch off. Wonderwoman, energizer bunny, I am not. What was I thinking? I was thinking, this is what it is going to take for these kids to really learn English so they can
