I've lived here 40 years now...


The end of last month, I began a major shuffling online. The latest, biggest changes have been in making Japanese blogs:

3つのねがい                            Please read! (Kimiko's Travel Agent translation)

覚えている                                childhood memories

主の思い出に生きる                  from 2016 blog

やっと戻ってきた                      ongoing Japanese blog

JUNIE'S LIBRARY                     fiction and animal tales, English posts also

WHY SHOULD IT CHANGE      Bible stories and devotionals, English posts also


By the way...all former computer systems will stay where they are, and be assured "KIMIKO-ROY'S ADVENTURE" will continue to be available here.


I changed the name from "ROY OSHIRO: for posterity" to "OSHIROS: for posterity" but don't know how to shut down this blog, actually! Sometimes, I think God gives us just enough ability to do His will; absolutely no more. I know first-term missionaries and I have talked about initially feeling frustrated for not knowing enough of the language, but then realizing that was actually God's safety belt for us: He keeps some of us from saying things we don't need to say.


Besides, I'm told Japanese isn't a difficult language; it's only the first 30 years that's hard.
