It was was not Yesterday

April 26, 2016

It was not yesterday, it was 1977, but at times facts from the past stimulate my mind until it seems it was just yesterday. We were living in our little bush house located in the upper Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. This was a place Janie and I will never forget in our life […]

Really, I can not read the translation

April 22, 2016
