~ A robot in every Japanese home by 2015.

~ I posted a short update on our work over on our Guam blog.

~ Tim & Melody Plaxton, who are scheduled to join our PIBC staff in August, have found a buyer for their California house and it is now in escrow. PTL! However, it sounds like she's going to have to have her gall bladder removed before she comes. Ouch!

~ John Michael Talbot is releasing his 50th album this summer.

~ The Mormons have sent out their one millionth missionary. They may be theologically mistaken but at least they're keeping the bicycle industry going and providing a market for the makers of white shirts and dark ties (now that Joe Friday and IBM have more or less all given that up).
