1000th Bible Translation
Do you like celebrations as much as I do? Don’t worry, it’s not my birthday…yet. No, this time it’s excitement for Wycliffe Bible Translators’ 1,000th Bible translation. As I know from personal experience, a Bible translation isn’t accomplished without difficulty. This one, the Keliko, was not easy. It came through 20 years of civil war and unrest. Ouch!

The Â, B, ŋ’s Of Nabak
Have you ever wondered how a spoken language is turned into text? It all starts by listening. Linguistics, the study of language, involving an analysis of form, meaning and, most importantly in context, is how it begins.
In the Rotoka’s language of Papua New Guinea, there are 12 letters in the alphabet (a, e, g, i, k, o, p, r, s, t, u, v), the fewest of any language in the world. Cambodia’s…

Music Worth Dying For
Music Worth Dying For
Shortly after Edmund’s death, June Michealsen came to Papua New Guinea as our ladies retreat speaker. She told about attending a concert at the Arlington Theater where the conductor did not appear. After a long silence, the orchestra began to play without a conductor. He had died that week. “The audience gasped,” June told us. “We always came to concerts expecting music. We hadn’t planned on…

Take Care of Your Roots!
Take Care of Your Roots!
I have chosen Jeremiah 17:7-8 as my life verse:
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
I think this is a lovely picture. There are times of…

Slave, Unbroken
His face is stern and strong, not quite angry, but close. Determined is a better word, and you can see it in the line of his lips and the way his eyes fearlessly meet the camera. The pictures are very old now, but it’s easy to see the drive, the passion in his soul. He looks like he was a man of consequence, a man who changed things, and he did.
Frederick Douglass was born a slave around 1818.…

Hi Friends,
As most of you already know, I love to bake. I also love to share my love of baking, and my recipes – with all of you! Just recently i was making a fresh batch of Hamantaschen cookies, and since I’ve never blogged about them, one of my favorite cookies to bake at Christmastime, I wanted to pass the story along.
A Hamantaschen[Hah-muhn-TAH-shuhn] is a…

Healing Leaves - More Than Just Medicine
Healing Leaves – More Than Just Medicine
Hello Friends!
We all know that the aloe plant is used for healing. When I was young and suffered a burn, my mother would break off a piece of the aloe, and rub it on the burn. This always made the damage feel better. Was it the Aloe or was it something more? Certainly my mother’s love and caring played a key part in the healing. God’s love also plays a key role.
Ezekiel, writing in Chapter 47,…

"Liquid Stitch"? ... It Actually Works
“Liquid Stitch”? … It Actually Works
Hello friends! I thought I’d share this little story with you in case you might find it helpful.
Recently, while I was getting ready for a speaking engagement that evening, I realized that my favorite pink jacket which I usually speak in had a problem. The lining on the inside of the right cuff was frayed, to the point that it was hanging out below the bottom of the cuff. (The left sleeve…

Butternut Squash Soup
Cubing the butternut squash
Hello friends! It’s been quite a while since I shared a recipe, so here’s another one for you. What I really like about this recipe is that it’s doesn’t require peeling the squash. I originally got this recipe from www.allrecipes.com , but I have modified it a bit.
These are some of the ingredients I use for this recipe
6 tablespoons chopped onion

What You Think You Know…
One day in Georgia a man collapsed and nearly died. He lived because the six men he was working with called 911 and did all they could to keep him alive until the paramedics arrived. Because of their actions, the Georgia man survived and has recovered. It’s a nice story, but not all that unusual, right?
But what if I told you the man who collapsed was a prison guard – with a gun – and the six…

Lilly Mai (Barrows) Jones, my grandmother
If I close my eyes and concentrate, I can see a boy alone in a field. The field is bathed in brilliant warm sunshine, and bees buzz among the clover and dandelions. In his hands he holds a stick which he imagines is a horse. He runs around the field, following a track he has worn in the green, green grass. I imagine he is happy, but I can’t be sure.

Q & A with Grace Fabian
People sometimes ask me questions when they meet me. If we haven’t met face to face in a while, maybe you haven’t been able to ask me your questions. But there’s no need to let that stop you – feel free to send me your questions here from my website.
In the meantime, I’ll share with you some Q&A from an e-interview. I recently received an email from a lady who heard me speak at a Wycliffe…

Brain Gains
Not many people in the west know much about Papua New Guinea. It is, after all, just one island nation on the other side of the world. They aren’t generally known for their great cultural achievements, feats of engineering, or military power. One of the few things they are known for, however, is Papua New Guinea’s all-too-recent history of tribal cannibalism. The practice was finally outlawed…

My very dear friends, near and far, Christmas, 2017
Me with baby Jon and some Nabak in 1970
My Christmas letter must sometimes sound a bit like an “annual report to shareholders.” Well that’s not entirely inappropriate, for you do, in fact, make a very great investment in me with your prayers and gifts. I remain accountable to…
