Enjoying Thailand

Today is our fifth day in Thailand. Our first day we were pretty tired from the all night flight here. We just stayed at the hotel, which was a very nice hotel. The next day we went to the mall and watched a movie, Ice Age 3-D. Great sweet popcorn. We also went bowling. When we got back to the hotel our friend was waiting outside, just leaving. He had come to the hotel to look for us and was just giving up when we came. So that was a fun coincidence. The next day we spent at the hotel swimming pool and ate food from 7-11. You can get cheap, good food there. And yesterday we went to another mall to spend the day. Steve got a foot massage and I had a full body massage. A guy did my massage. He even massaged my butt, which is a bit odd. But the massage sure felt good. And finally to the train station for our night train to Chiang Mai. And here we are. Very nice hotel. And it happens to be connected to a mall.

We found a Toy's R Us in the mall and Micah found a fun airplane which we couldn't say “no” to. We had our hamburgers today at Mike's. Great burgers.

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

The Party

Last night I went to Allison's (sis in-law) batchlorette party. It was at a mexican restaurant/bar. It was a very crowded place so we weren't able to get a big table all together. Allison and her girl friends were at one table and the old folks (me and others) were at our own table (feeling awkward). Allison showed up at the place drunk already, from a bit too many drinks in the limo. I thought it would be embarrassing to be around your mother in-law to-be and your grandmother in-law to-be, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Allison wasn't a bad drunk really. She was a little loud, but not obnoxious. I felt old. I had a new dress on, but I ended up looking like an old lady instead of a young thing. I had some nice shoes on too. But my purse, which looked fine at home, turned into an old lady purse. It was also cold out, so I had a shawl. I'm glad I had it but it just added to the old lady look. I don't drink for two reasons. First, I am che...
