• Another quote? From Eugene Petterson, not my favorite Bible translator, but who has good things to say.

• Seems I just got back, but am working already on our itinerary for a trip in August to the US. Texas, anyone?

• State holiday here tomorrow, everybody seems to already be ready to get started with the festivities.

• You’ve probably read about my impressions of Posterous.com. (But you're here reading this, aren't you?)

• This new theme seemed to be prepared to stay, but it’s missing a few features ...

• Last, a word from my namesake, James the brother of the Lord.
