My mom passed on to heaven quietly on the morning of Oct 31, 2009. The family wrote memories of her, which were read at the service. We are still challenged with difficult decisions concerning my father's ongoing care, especially concerning possibly moving him to a medical facility. I covet your prayers for wisdom, gentleness, acceptance, and door-opening needed for this to be done with peace of heart for all involved.Oct 24/2009
Things are still very challenging here at home, with both parents under 24/7 personal care here now. (I appreciate the prayers for help in this confusing and quasi-oppressive time.)But I was able to finish a research-reply for a Muslim correspondent, on Does the Qur'an or Islam teach that Jesus did NOT die on the Cross? (Part One of a two-part question).
Added a couple of books

No new material, because I have been/am swamped with home health issues (e.g. my Mom here went under home hospice care two weeks ago, and my Dad went into the hospital with pneumonia and heart problems last Monday--and is still there) and heavy business travel (until the health crisis here forced me to cancel some of those). I AM, though, teaching a bible study via Skype 'into' Palo Alto California on the Gospel of John (see the audio/video menu for that) ] but otherwise, I am consumed by the current health needs here. Prayers would be appreciated!Aug 29/2009

It has been a busy couple of months with incessant business travel, family medical issues, and work on the Punjabi-ctt.com website. I have several smaller pieces to write/edit/post on the Tank, but it seems to be slow-going this year...May /2009
