Quotes

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

- John Wooden

 

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream

- C.S. Lewis

 

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.

Attitude determines how well you do it.

- Lou Holtz

 

Good is the enemy of great. Most people will look back and realize they did not have a great life because it's just so easy to settle for a good life.

- Jim Collins

 

True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

- Helen Keller

 

Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

Summer Break!

Schools Out!

The kids are so excited to finally be out of school for the summer. Our break began with a weekend company train trip to Huelien touring the Taroko Gorge area. Liz has planned many activities and there will be much to do as we journey this summer. Hope everyone has a great summer!

 

Expatriate Anniversary!

Wow! It’s been a year already and it seems like the time has just blown by! We have all grown so much during this time that we look back on tremendous personal learning, experiences, challenges we over came, etc.

 

April

April Webcam Conference!

Join us on a Yahoo! Super Webcam conference at the end of April on the 28th at 10:00pm EST/ 9:00pm CDT/ 7:00pm PST for 30 minutes. To join us, you’ll need a Yahoo! Instant Messenger ID and then just IM us and we’ll connect you to the webcam conference. You’ll get to see the kids and if you have a webcam, we’ll get to see you also!

 

Resurrection Sunday!

At Christmas time we celebrate His birth. At Easter we celebrate His death. At every other time of the year we celebrate and enjoy the freedom from sin & shame that He enabled by giving His Life for ours! He came that we might have Life and that more abundantly. Take a moment to thank Him for who He is, King of Kings eternally!

 

Tiffany’s B-Day!

Cousin Tiffany’s birthday celebration. Nominated people-to-people to attend a college campus to learn greater leadership skills.

 

The Birthday of the Princess!

She was named after the literally meaning of “Victory of the People” & “Helper of Mankind”! She is bright, generous and someone we are very proud of, our daughter Alexandra! God will reveal and whisper to you the secrets of how to fly one day! You were born to live a life of greatness through His grace. Happy birthday!

 

Rev. Price’s B-Day!

Happy Birthday! When we look to see the gardens, fields and orchards of lives that you have cast the seed of His Word upon, Sunday after Sunday, Wednesday after Wednesday, day after day... in sermon, in bible studies, in something called Prayer Guard, where for nearly a decade you carefully planted and nourished seed in the lives of people every business day at noon in a place called RCBC... We declare that God will guard you. We hope one day God opens your eyes just as He did to Elijah's servant Gehazi to see what has become of the seed you planted & nourished. To see that in dozens of cities across the country people are still reaping the fruit of the seed you sowed, it is flourishing, and yes, even on the other side of the world here in Taiwan, Cambodia and Borneo you have inspired us to do a work to delight Him. 

 

March

Grandpa’s Birthday!

Happy birthday Dad! What a wonderful blessing it was to have a war hero, a Korean War veteran, a strong man of character as a dad. We honor the man whose dream it was after the war conflict to raise a family in a home with a white picket fence,… thanks for making your and the dream of others come true. We, along with many others will forever be grateful for the example you lived, the blood and pain you suffered on the south peninsula of Korea, which half a century later, is home of six of the ten largest churches in the world… while North Korea is still a churchless society. Thanks for living a wonderful example each day, to protect and provide for those you love. Your grandchildren send their love.

 

Anita’s Birthday!

Happy birthday to our dear friend Anita, a friend and deliverer, whose heart searches to & fro to find ways to give to those near her! You have been there thru thick & thin, from college times, our marriage, birth of children, and nearly everything in between. May His blessing overtake you in every way!

 

It’s Skip’s Birthday!

Happy birthday to the brother and mentor that lived an example of Christ to a younger brother! We are thankful for all of the wisdom that you have imparted over the years and you steadfastness to follow Him!

 

February

National Peace Day

In Taiwan, Peace Day is a National Holiday, so nearly all offices are closed. We celebrated with a morning hike in the jungle like foliage of Yangmingshan mountain, before having breakfast at a local restaurant, shopping in Shi Lin and a mid-afternoon nap.

 

The Spoken Word

Liz & the kids practiced rehearsed and prepared to take part of a writer’s workshop and subsequent self written play at school in celebration of Black History month. The kids had a great time, and enjoyed seeing their picture in the local newspaper!

 

It’s Lisa’s Birthday!

Happy birthday to the sister who we love. She taught her younger brother Kevin to whistle, snap his fingers, and that ‘brat’ is really a term of endearment.

 

Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year!

We celebrate this holiday for the first time in Asia, quite a popular and festive time in the region. We decided to explore & enjoy our local region and do some planning for the year to come.

 

January

Grandma & Grandpa’s Anniversary!

Mom & Dad celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary. Thanks for living the example of love, commitment & forgiveness since 1953! You’ve journeyed through the Korean War conflict, civil rights era, death of a president, Vietnam, disco fever, college expenses, an empty nest, birth of grandkids, wisdom of the ages! We love you!

 

Aunt Fannie’s Birthday!

Aunt Fannie celebrated her birthday with Shari on a trip to Florida, visiting relatives on both the east & west coasts. They we’re able to spend dinner together with Lisa

 

Kevin’s Birthday!

We celebrated Kevin’s next year mark at Chili’s the following weekend, as he is catching up at work in a traditionally very busy time of the year.

 

Our Friend’s Loss

A friend of the family, Lisa in Minnesota, lost one of her best friends,… her Mom, after 80+ years of life. Moms have a way of being there for you in good times and bad, so we share her loss, and pray for His grace upon her as she continues this journey without her.

 

New Year’s in Sydney!

We spent Christmas & New Year’s in Sydney, Australia, enjoying their summer weather in what some consider the most beautiful large city in the world. Read more in our Family Diary
