Guilty Pleasure?

by Jim on 26 January 2012

We have a bad habit.  There’s a Krispy Kreme at the airport in Mexico City (one at each terminal, actually).  And yes, we have a habit of getting a doughnut when we go to the airport.  It’s not exactly Tim Hortons, but it’s not bad.

Today we went to drop off Brittany, who has been here taking photos for CAM International (soon to be Camino Global).  Brittany is on the plane right now (as far as we know), heading to Uruguay.  She won’t be arriving until tomorrow morning.

We’ll miss Brittany!  It was fun having her around, and I know she took some great pictures.  Thanks, Brittany!

Anyway, while we were hanging out with her, we went to Krispy Kreme and discovered they have everything… except doughnuts.

Come back in half an hour, we were told.

So we did, and we got some raspberry fills.

Here are Hannah and Nathanael with their brand new long awaited doughnuts.

Pigeons in Puebla

Pigeons are cool.

Today we were in Puebla, showing Brittany a few of the sites.  Downtown we saw a lot of birds… different kinds.  But some of them were pigeons.  Eventually we found that there was a lady selling seed to feed them.

No, it wasn’t tuppence a bag.  Actually, it was 5 pesos.  About 40 cents.  Or about 25 pence.  Inflation.

So Nathanael fed them for a bit.  Here’s one picture I took with a couple of the birds in flight.  I like the shadows.

Priorities

24 January 2012 Mexico

This is obviously a poor area, not far from where we live.  Some houses are missing doors or windows, few are painted, many do not have proper roofs. But I’ve highlighted what this neighbourhood seems to have lots of – satellite dishes. I counted at least 21 – they’re red, blue, or grey (I realize [...]

How to Study the Old Testament

24 January 2012 Devotional and Bible

This past Sunday I preached from Nehemiah 3.  But actually, I used it as an excuse to talk about studying the Old Testament in general. Questions about how to interpret the OT – particularly in light of the New – are not always easy, to say the least.  In 2000 years, the church has taken [...]
