It was just last week with the heat and constant contractions that I was longing to just stay in the bed in our air-conditioned room. When the doctor ordered bed rest for a week, I'll admit, I was relieved. Well, by the end of day one I could hardly stand it! Bored, sore, and listening from a distance to my girls and husband laughing together almost drove me out of bed...almost. I did some research on how to improve bed rest time and made myself a schedule of sorts.

The Quiverfull Movement is having an impact on mainstream Christianity. Non-Christians and Christians alike are saying its adherents are ludicrous, radical. As referred to in my last blog, I am becoming more and more interested in ideas the world calls ludicrous and radical, strange and odd.

I was talking with my neighbor the other day when she asked me whether I go to church or not. I got the picture, but the word she used for church was "wat," the same word for Buddhist temples here in Cambodia. Our conversation continued, and what I soon discovered was that my friend saw very little difference between Christians and Buddhists.

We have a holy place where we worship God
We do good deeds in front of others (think Christian NGO Landcruisers driving around with what they do written in big letters on the side of the vehicle)
