Logan, Rene and I have been very encouraged to see how much our friends and family have been willing to support Logan and Logos school by being sponsors. Our friends contributions totaled $450. The jog a thon raised close to $13,000! Logos's 2nd Annual Jog-a-thon! Logan has been looking forward to this event for a month.He did a great job. He ran the whole time and covered a mile. He showed a lot of character. Bonus! Logan was entered into a drawing and won a Gift certificate to the best book store in Phnom Penh.We are were encouraged by so many things. What a blessing it was to be part of this event!
The Phnom Penh Post has some interesting articles every now and then. One of the guys had mentioned one he read this week. He then emailed me this pic from his phone. As an ex-building contractor I was interested to hear about the tensile strength of bamboo but this is just icing on the cake. I hope they meant to make me laugh but I'm not sure. It's either a stroke of genius or idiocy. It definitely caught my attention. It may even be enough to inspire me to read the story.
As I went to write this blog I remembered a SNL skit where Sean Connery had this line, "Never trust a carny, got small hands, smell like cabbage." For some reason it makes me grin. If you find it on the web it may be worth watching... or maybe not. What brought this up was the annual Logos Carnival - a highlight of the school year!Face painting!

Rene has always wanted to see a traditional Khmer shadow puppet show. There is a Khmer cultural performance center in Phnom Penh that we have been trying to visit for over a year now. Rene's wish came true a week ago. They combined masks, costumes, mine, acting, shadow puppets and a narative to tell a story.The story was a section of a lager work called the Reamker Chronicle.I was glad they handed out a program that explained the story in English.It was very interesting but would have been easier to follow if I could understand Khmer.
