Two years ago, during Sabbath School at Michigan campmeeting, I heard a testimony that baffled me and still has me lucidly befuddled. It was time for mission spotlight and they had an older woman share about her experience on the mission field. After the formal presentation, the interviewer announced that they also had that woman’s …
first stoning of a Sabbath-breaker
I don’t know about you, but when I read of the Israelites stoning someone to death, I imagine anger, contempt, pride and self-righteousness in their countenance. I suppose it’s because that’s the picture painted just about every time they’re out to stone someone in the New Testament. Take the woman caught in the act of …
that pink elephant…
So I just realized that I’m about to miss posting something in the month of December! That would be a crying shame, seeing as I’ve been so faithful to make at least one post each month this entire year (ok, so maybe I missed September…ahem). What I had intended to do, was to compile a …
Adventist
My Mom is coming for a visit. Her flight arrives at 5pm today. This all comes as a compound of miracles. Firstly, the sponsorship for her stay. Secondly, the fact she got a visa to the USA! And thirdly, the finances for her travel. I truly have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! …
Simple profundity
A flower. An ant. An eye. Algebra. Thought. Love. Salvation. The simplest things in life are the most profound.

I’m a little lamp
I’m reading a book right now titled “A Long Way Gone.” I’m not sure yet if I would recommend it because it’s a whole lot more graphic than anything I’ve ever read before and rivals any of the gory horror movies my siblings and I used to sneak a peak at through the crack in …
A simple glass of OJ
Yesterday I sat down to breakfast next to a plain-looking couple who, I later learned, are both well into their 80s. Perhaps ten minutes after they had sat down to eat, the husband mysteriously stood up. To be honest, neither his wife nor I noticed him leaving. It was only as he returned that I …
59th Session of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
The Georgia Dome formed the venue for an historic event to which I was privileged to bear witness. With soul-stirring eloquence, the 20th president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists delivered an appeal for the church to go forward in fulfillment of God’s commission. His appeals to the tenets of sola scriptura and prima …
Why Kangaroos have short arms and long legs
I just read an article about why kangaroos have short arms and long legs. In summary it’s because that suits them best for what they do i.e. crawl in a pouch or hop around… Why does this go down as an historic discovery? Well, maybe not historic, but at least noteworthy. Because someone just discovered …
