We have friends living in china. They are teaching English there and seem to be really enjoying themselves. Dale has a great sense of humor and one of the things he blogged was a translation off of a hair spray bottle. It is so funny I thought I would post it for you.
Translation #1: Hairspray Bottle - word for word....it's confusing
The vogue's what hair style need is which suite vogue already set. Profession special hair spray have type of the strong dint the result. Design of in keeping with all shapeness. Show hair that make you since now moving magic power, again hold out for long time the constant type, and the special afiliation is wet validity lock lives water the care for show hair for does not outflowing, for you providing the profession but completely.
How's that for a translation! What are they talking about!!! More to come....
You talk about LOST IN TRANSLATION!
Tonight I did some premarital counseling with a young couple. We got sidetracked (kinda) on this whole topic of not understanding what the other person is saying. It is about being lost in translation. So often feelings are hurt or things are said one way but completely taken the opposite way. What's up with that?
I guess it is God's way of helping us learn to understand our differences, learn about ourselves and learn about how God deals with us as well. We don't often understand his ways as they are higher and wiser than ours. And just as we have to work hard at communicating with and understanding one another so we have to work hard at hearing and understanding what it is God is trying to commuicate with us. I guess it is just further proof of the fall of mankind from the perfect paradise of the Garden of Eden.
Did you understand anything I just wrote????
Information, audio sermon files, short writings about faith and life and how these two intersect, photos, and more.

I'm sure in time Cheryl will forgive you for losing her at the Stampede. :)
Yes Chris and I am saying your fat!
And Shuana,we reconnected and worked through the feelings, tried to understand each other again (and again and again). Our lives are filled with opportunities to relearn old lessons and being open to learning new ones regarding communication. Not to mention as uncle said all the non-verbals! What a ride! God certainly knows how to make life an adventure eh!
Actually Kevin was lost! I knew where we were supposed to be all the time...so did the kids! I think next time we do something like that I am getting a gps tracking device implanted in him or something! or maybe it was just the whole 'lost in translation' thing! :-)
