As many of you know, "The Raconteur" is the title of my official ministry newsletter and it comes from the French for "recounter" or "storyteller". This blog is anything but official. It is the place for me to tell the "real story" - the things that have no place in an official ministry newsletter because of space or content.

It's Still August, Right?
I took a trip to Medias (87 km. from here) today with two of my teammates. A short-term team from a church near my home is in Medias teaching the youth to use puppetry as a ministry tool. They did a short puppetry program for us, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon with them. I enjoyed catching up on some of the news from "home" and putting faces with names I had heard before. Just as we were getting ready to head home, the skies opened up & the deluge began. Before long, it turned into hail...and looked like a snow storm for a few minutes. I think it's still August...
Sue mentioned to one of the men working with the team that I was involved in translation and publishing, so he had to take me to the Christian bookstore & publisher in town. I love bookstores! I think I miss the bookstores even more than I miss Lake Michigan. Touring the print shop was fun, too. The pic above is an original Heidelberg offset printing press (about 50 yrs. old).
Off to bake snickerdoodles for my sister...
