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 …
Walking and Leaping!
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, …
girls’ school…women’s college…who cares?
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 …
may-blog
May is the month when I wasn’t sure I’d get my monthly blog in or not. It was really a toss-up: “I may or may not blog this month,” I thought. But I just really did not want to break my beautifully consistent record of blogging every month so here I am writing something down. …
Wait

the more I know the less I know
I absolutely love being a student again! Seriously! Sometimes, I can even feel my brain grow! It’s awesome! Now that I’ve convinced you of my sincerity by the overwhelming use of exclamation points, I shall proceed to confess to a phenomenon that is completely new to me. Yes, I’d heard it spoken of, but I …

My days as a thirty year old are numbered. And thoughts of entering my thirty-somethings has me reflecting on my twenties – the good, the bad and the ugly. Well, mostly the bad and the ugly actually. After this post I promised myself to turn my focus to the good so I can give God …
how was GYC?
A conversation I had with a Croatian friend of mine during our first year of college in the US stands out. She said, “Sikhu, I don’t understand why Americans ask, ‘how are you?’ when they don’t really want to hear your answer!” She would actually take the time to craft a meaningful response to their …
it’s baby season
So I’m a few days late, but Christmas is a time of year when the world remembers the miracle of the incarnation. God, who is infinitely infinite, packages Himself into the tiny, helpless form of a baby. With no earthly father to claim, He is born of a virgin – IMPOSSIBLE and yet apparently, with …
