A few months ago my friend Teppei was telling me to check The Gaslight Anthem out because they toured together and he really liked them.  I’m bummed I didn’t do that until today.  I’m loving it.  For lack of better comparisons they’re a mish-mash of Against Me/Springsteen/the Killers.

This is a song called “‘59 Sound”.

Enjoy.



One of the families from our church was awesome and had all of the foreigners over for a BBQ the other day and made us traditional M*ngolian skewers and “horhuk”; goat meat, potatoes, and onions cooked with red hot rocks inside of a metal container over a fire.


We were excited because we found a masseuse in town but I have a tip for you; if a masseuse ever asks you if you want them to put suction cups on your back say “no”.  You’ll end up looking like the big loser of a paintball game or like you just came out of the Matrix.


Kim and I went for a little hike the other day.  Bella found a bone to gnaw on.

Great Article on The Church in The Washington Post

The Washington Post gave some space to Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck and it was not wasted.

Here’s the opening paragraph:

-

“Here’s what Bono, Oprah, and the guru speakers on PBS won’t tell you: Jesus believed in organized religion and he founded an institution. Of course, Jesus had no patience for religious hacks and self-righteous wannabes, but he was still Jewish. And as Jew, he read the Holy Book, worshiped in the synagogue, and kept Torah. He did not start a movement of latte-drinking disciples who excelled in spiritual conversations. He founded the church (Matt. 16:18) and commissioned the apostles to proclaim the good news that Israel’s Messiah had come and the sins of the world could be forgiven through his death on the cross (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:14-36).”



I’ve never seen a sky like the one over Mongolia.  It’s always wild, like having a river overhead, and feels like it’s right on top of you.  This isn’t the best picture ever - Kim’s are way better - but it gives you an idea.
