Gee's Brother-In-Law Dying

Our helper, Gee, has a 38 year-old brother-in-law who is dying of lung cancer in an open ward in the government hospital of Phuket. We paused homeschooling for a day last Wednesday to drive Gee the 2 hours to the hospital to relieve her older sister from her 24-hour watch of the patient (that's how they do it here.) We met her sister's 2 children, just Poppy & Jasper's age. Ken & I prayed for him at the foot of his bed, and when we were done both Gee and her sister were crying. She told me later after we prayed for him he started feeling better, ate a little and sat up, even tried to walk a bit. She asked me a bit later how to pray again. I gave her a tract to read that night as she slept by the bed of her brother-in-law.
The ward was row after row of hospital beds with the ill, some dying. It was so depressing. Among all the Thais we saw an ex-pat western man, here without money, obviously, since he was with everyone else in the open hospital bed. It was sweltering and family members sat on the floor next to the patient's beds, surrounded by their bags of food, toothbrushes, shampoo, towels, and extra clothes.
Gee took the bus back a few days later. Today she told me she wants to go to church on Sunday. She looked happy.

Red-Necked Keelback Snake

This is our "snake of the month," this time just a few steps from our kitchen door. I found it Monday afternoon, a strange pattern unlike the grass surrounding it. I yelled for the kids and our guest to go upstairs, handed them the dogs, and got my cell-phone and snake book. Kennedy, Trevor (Dean's intern) and a handyman all came to help, and the Thai handyman killed it. It was a very pretty snake, I'll upload a picture later. It is venomous, with rear-fangs. Most keelback snakes are not venomous, (we just got lucky?)

Our Airport-Closure Adventure

We knew that time was tight between the end of our conference in the Northern end of Thailand and our flight out of the country from the Southern end. We figured that since we would be flying there would be no problem getting home in a day and giving ourselves 2 full days before our flight to the U.S. We were scheduled to fly back to Southern Thailand on December 1st and get on our flight to the U.S. on December 4th. We flew to Chiang Mai with no inkling that the beautiful new airport we transferred at in Bangkok would be seiged by protesters just a few days later. At our conference we realized that we were not going to be flying back. The alternatives were train, bus, rent a car or rent a mini-van with a driver. Being economical we chose the train or bus, and in the end, due to scheduling, it had to be the bus. It would be a grueling 20+ hour trip home, but we weren't overly concerned because Thailand has beautiful VIP buses that are really nice to ride in. Unfortunately ther

Bread Obession

Image
I got obsessed with bread. Not just any kind of bread, but artisan bread. Natural yeast, sourdough, whole wheat 7-grain boules, to be exact. I am a bread lover, to be sure, but somehow my love for bread turned into a quest for a difficult but supremely delicious bread, in short, my bread obsession to make the perfect loaf. So what you see below is the product I finally managed to make after several weeks of trying to get a good fungal/bacterial culture going, I mean, bakers yeast/lactobacillus, also known as sourdough starter. That was a challenge in itself, considering that Thailand is bacterial heaven and the temperatures are not ideal for the growth of yeast cells. I am too ashamed to tell you how many hours I have spent on the superb website "The Fresh Loaf" which you can get to yourself if you click on my title above. I learned from chemists, who also like to make bread, more than I ever imagined I could or wanted to know about growing microbes. Certain special m
