The script was written by our teacher here in Mongolia back in 2008. Interesting thought on the common origins, thanks for reading.
Nk- Sorry writing in the Mongolian script is a skill I don’t have. I was hoping to study it and perhaps some day with more time I will.

The handwriting on those names looks awfully familiar. Did you get them done at a festival at Rutgers last year?

We offer professional calligraphy services, but here’s some help if you want to learn yourself: http://silverhorde.viahistoria.com/research/UighurScript.html

BTW – The similarity with Arabic is due to both being derived from a common origin. I’ve also read that some scholars hypothesize that European Runic scripts could have an origin in Orkhon (Turkic Runes) via the Huns, but no substantiating proof exists.

I’ve met Mongolians in China who knew the Classical Mongol Script, but not Cyrillic, and so my knowledge of the script came into practical use at one point when my pronunciation failed badly.

Funny, this is what I’m struggling with right now. I really never had much by American standards. Fine enough house, second hand furniture, used vehicles in constant need of repair, and the stuff that fills a house. I am considering going into missions, so I will need to get rid of probably 95% of it. Part of me is thrilled by it. What scares me is depending on God to care for my families needs. I used to think I was doing that, but now taking that half-step forward in faith, I most certainly was not. Please continue to pray for me. Thanks for the blog.

Puts an even deeper perspective on my favorite David Crowder*Band song “How He Loves”…I though “affections” was an interesting choice of words… thanks for sharing – so truly amazing how God pulls at our hearts through music and draws us to His Glory through His enduring Word.

Seeing this “sea change” in population shift to the city speaks to the need for an urban strategy to reach them with the Gospel, teach them the Word and supply them with means to provide some economic stability. Tall order for the the church.

I saw this article the other day. The times they are a’changing.

That said, I do find “Urban Planning” and “Mongolia” as being a tad oxymoronic…

Trust you guys are well…
