Welcome to PlaaPlaaPlaa!

So you may be wondering why PlaaPlaaPlaa? What are those strange fish symbols above? What is ปลา and what does it mean? In short, this is a blog site, so surely there's going to be plenty of rambling. Unfortunately BlahBlahBlah was already taken, so I had to settle for the 'Plaa'. But there's actually more to it then just ramblings. The first fish symbol is actually a Christian symbol meaning ICTHUS - a greek acronymn which means "Jesus Christ is God's Son, the Saviour". The other strange letters you see in the last fish is actually the thai word for fish which funnily enough is pronounced "Plaa". So when you put it all together, this site is going to be my ramblings in telling people about how Jesus Christ is God's Son, the Saviour in Thailand (with plenty of good stories about food in between). Happy reading.

Sunday School Social

After getting introduced to nerf guns many years ago, I was pretty excited to discover that many of the kids at church here have also got into nerf guns. Now that all my nerf guns have arrived in Thailand (thanks to my many friends who have kindly been bring over stuff for me) I promised the kids that we'd have a nerf wars day, to which they were all super keen. Who would've thought that nerf games that we used to play in the office (all in the name of helping get the creative juices running of course) would come in so handy many years later.

Earlier this month, Thailand had a 4 day long weekend, so we decided to use one of the days as a social day for the SS kids. We started with nerf wars in the church, before going bowling and ending up with dinner and a movie at my sisters house in the evening. It was a great day where many of the kids brought along friends and we could just have lots of fun with them. Unfortunately in my over enthusiastic attempts to try and capture the flag, I was quickly reminded that I am no longer as young or agile as I used to be. Needless to say, it was still heaps of fun!
