Removing the High Places

In the view from our living room, we look out over the bay and see the Kowloon side of Hong Kong.  Behind the tall buildings are even taller mountains.  On top of these mountains are small structures.  I believe some of these are observatories while others are...

Visa Woes

We continue to have delays and obstacles getting permanent work visas. We feel like Paul right now when he was detained in some countries and not allowed into others. We are doing our part and jumping through all the hoops, and then we wait on God in His greater...
