thoughts of my head upon my bed
I grew up with the stories of the exodus and God’s miraculous provision for His people on their travels from Egypt to Canaan. And it always baffled me how anyone could ever complain about receiving bread from heaven everyday! Surely if my Mom were serving bread from heaven everyday I wouldn’t complain – I thought. Instead, …
All throughout our courtship, we’ve joked about updating our relationship status on FaceBook to “It’s Complicated.” You see, our cultural differences made for an interesting scenario on who to tell what – when. (And now I’m debating if I should try to explain it all here…And I’m shrinking from the task! <sigh>) Well, when Archie …
When you go into REM sleep, your body stops releasing certain neurotransmitters thus causing a drop in vigilance (am I in danger?) and mood-modulation (so what?). Also, the prefrontal cortex becomes less active causing a diminished sense of logic (what’s going on?) and planning (what do I do next?). You notice how the physical state …
The book of Ephesians has, as a themes, the concept of unity. That Christ came to bring everything back together. There was harmony in the universe when God first created it. Every note different yet moving in unity. Then sin entered in – sin: the very breach of the harmonious flow of life. You see, …
For my devotions, this morning, I decided to meditate on the Psalm for the Sabbath (since it is Sabbath today) and I couldn’t get past the first phrase: “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord” Psalm 92:1 In the midst of thanking God for one thing, I found myself complaining about …

And pluck from life’s bewildering maze, where we but wanderers are, The light that on our pathway shines – a never-fading star? Give up the Bible! must we yield to erring man the …
Most people who have found out from me that I’m in a relationship, respond first with incredulity. haha. Yes, they laugh. Then they notice my straight face and double back, “wait…you’re serious?” Apparently part of why it’s so unbelievable is because they didn’t see it on Facebook! And to be sure, once they’re in the …
I’ve been blog-delinquent this semester. But oh, how I’ve missed blogging! And now I have a backlog of ideas I’ve been meaning to write on. So…where to start? My devotions. That’s always a good place to start. I’ve been reading about Jeremiah. That guy had a depressing job! We love to quote Jeremiah 29:11 “For …
How do you follow up a testimony where 3,000 souls are added to the church in a day? Well, Luke goes on to tell us about Peter and John’s encounter with a lame man at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful. This man had never walked a day in his life! No, …
Yes, I was indoctrinated while at Wellesley that ours was not a girls’ school. It was a women’s college! But who cares, right? Ya, It’s pretty much communicating the same message of an academic institution for females; but it does so in a diminutive manner! Uha, I understand that you don’t mean to communicate disrespect, but …
