We get one story, you and I, and one story alone.
God has established the elements, the setting, the climax and the resolution.
It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?

Epic Texts


 I never sent a text message before coming to China. 

But here, it's my major form of communication. Here are a few of the unforgettable text messages from my unforgettable friends. I wish I would have written all of them down, but here are a few I happen to copy and past for you. 
 

From my student Lilith who had a homework question and when I returned her call I received this text…

From the one and only Synapse…

Last week I had called June’s (our extremely autistic boy, formerly known as David / Father Christmas) mom and told her that June needs glasses. Here’s the text she sent me on Sunday morning...

Dear Micar, thank you very much for your help to June. Tomorrow he will wear his glasses to school. Your’s sincerely. June’ parents. 


After Jacob, his sister, Paris and I had an amazing buffet dinner at Jacob's sister's hotel…

Frank sent me this text in early April…
