One night, after a long day of editing the videos that were becoming Season One of The Revolutionary Life, I lay down on our bed in the RLI House in Northern Thailand. I was stressed, pressed with the constant deadlines that come with TV production. These dates hung over my head, whistling in my ear 24/7. “You have no time to play. You have no time to rest,” they would say. And I would listen. Darlene and I were working morning till after bedtime everyday: waking, working, sleeping, waking, working, sleeping. Repeat. My To-do list stretched a mile long...

Shopping for Boots in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
posted by Darlene Stanley
So here we are in the middle of Malaysia in one of the busiest cities in all of SE Asia, Kuala Lumpur. Why you may ask??? Because we’re flying out of the Kuala Lumpur airport (tomorrow) for India Because we have a list of things to find while we’re here before we leave SE Asia for good (at least for several months….or however long God leads). This for us officially begins our next mission: shopping for boots in Kuala Lumpur. Sounds easy right? Yeah, I thought so to. For most people, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia along with Bangkok Thailand and...

We are already receiving...
Why Missionaries MUST Communicate
posted by Dustan Stanley
Often, as Darlene and I speak at different places around the world, we are confronted with a few recurring themes concerning missionary communication. These themes are usually on two different ends. One: “Dustan, do you know anything about so and so… We support (or used to) them, but we never know what’s going on. And two: “I love following you guys online, it makes me feel like I’m there with you.” Honestly, the first questions can make us quite uncomfortable if we do know the said missionary. What we do almost always is...

How to get a Haircut and Shave in Chiang Mai, Thailand
posted by Dustan Stanley
So, after three days of feverish tossing and turning I got better. I crawled out of our little rented Thai house, winced at the sunlight, and looked at myself in the mirror. Yikes. My hair had gotten wild and my red beard was out of hand. That means it’s time for a haircut and shave. Where & How Much? On this side of the world one of my favorite timesis a shave and a haircut. For 100 Baht (just over $3) you can get a full haircut and a slick straight razor shave. The place I normally go is on the inside of the south side of the moat. Driving east...
