Back to the Cradle: April 2008
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Back to the Cradle. Hey there Blogger world, we're finally here for a much needed update. Due to a tropical virus our computer was down for some time and we were unable to post. But now it's all good. So I thought I would share some pictures of my school and my kids. Enjoy! My Grade 4 class which is my absolute favorite. 24 kids who for the most part love to engage and think the world of me. We have a lot of fun. I see them about 7 periods a week. Or "Is it ok for a Muslim to marry a Christian? This is H...

Back to the Cradle: Africa Reads
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008/06/africa-reads.html
Back to the Cradle. I've been reading alot of books about Africa lately, I think on last count about 12 in the past 3 months or so. I know not everyone has my great fascination with the Dark Continent but here are a few reads I highly reccomend for those with an interest in Africa or in a good read. Ok, so the 750 pages might seem a little intimidating at first but they fly by. "The Fate of Africa". Stephanie Nolen's "28: Stories of AIDS in Africa". A Canadian journalist gives stories and faces to th...

Back to the Cradle: November 2007
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Back to the Cradle. I know you all love to see pictures so here are a few of some Ethiopian sights. These are some pictures of the crazy traffic that sometimes develops here. The blue and whites are what Nolana and I use to get around. Maybe 12 cents for a ride. Here are some of the Orthodox worshippers. Some of the churches are beautiful and ornate and some mere walls. At least 50% of people here are orthodox. From the overpass. You can see the fruit stall as well as the coal seller. I am a happily marr...

Back to the Cradle: Moved!
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008/07/moved.html
Back to the Cradle. No we're not all moved into our new digs yet but, I am moving my blog away from passthekimchi.blogspot.com. This one was built for our travels and, as the address suggests, was a little too place specific. For Ethiopia I kept the URL but changed the name. Now it's time to simply move and start over, something a little more inclusive of all the pots my fingers are in. So come see the new blog at http:/ ericswanderings.blogspot.com/. My e-mail address is smpkmj69@naver.com. I am a happi...

Back to the Cradle: Trekking in North Wollo
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008/02/trekking-in-north-wollo.html
Back to the Cradle. Trekking in North Wollo. It really feels like that here as we passed the half way mark and have so quickly come upon 4 months left here in Ethiopia (ok, soon it will be four months). At school we finished the end of semester finals and I got to take some time off! Had most of a week to relax and catch up on some things and Nolana took half of that week off so we had a chance to just hang out together and take a break from our busy schedules… it was sweet! The kids tending the cattle a...

Back to the Cradle. Obama vs. Ol' Dobby. Now you may not look at the news but this one one is fresh off today's, "Obama Dismisses Dobson" coming after yesterday's, "Dobson Blasts Obama on Bible." As you can see, a little dispute is brewing. Now a caveat, I'm not an Obama groupie. Don't think he's going to change the world, or even America for that matter. I think he's a better choice than Bush. I don't think he's a miracle worker. Obama's right. America is not a Christian nation and has a set of laws...

Back to the Cradle: January 2008
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Back to the Cradle. While many people choose the start of a new year to look forward and make resolutions they know they'll never keep I am choosing to look backward on the year 2007 and wonder at how God has led us and be thankful for the many things I have learned and experienced. Here are some of the things that I am thankful for. 1 A wife who supports my craziness, my need for exploration and who is willing to grow with me in love for each other. 6 Walking to work at 6am and seeing the sun come up.
