You have faced the mountains of desperation; You have climbed…you have fought…you have won… But this valley that lies, cold, before you Cast a shadow you cannot overcome… And just when you thought you had it all together… You knew every verse to get you through; But this time all the sorrow broke more than …
I’m on Pinterest… :)
After several friends from intersecting friend groups pestered me for months, I finally joined Pinterest last week. Granted, it wasn’t to appease them that I succumbed…rather, it was because I’m helping a friend with a project and he, being out of the country, directed me to his Pinterest for guidance on what to do. There’s …
favorite time of the week
I love Sabbath! It’s not so much the “not working” aspect of it. And, as much as I love the fellowship with fellow believers, that’s not what I love most either. Sabbath school time is up there for what makes Sabbath awesome, but that’s not it. And choir is so much fun, but not the …
can I ask this…?
There’s a song by Chris Rice titled “Big Enough” that asks a lot of questions. It’s on one of my work-music playlists so sometimes, I’ll hear it several times in one day. As it played yesterday, the lyrics finally became audible. “God, if You’re there, I wish You’d show me And God if You care …
we are one
When the weather started turning chilly, I took the air out of my bike tires and brought it inside. But having experienced the joy of exercise, I actually couldn’t bear the idea of a sedentary life all winter long. So I laced my running shoes…haha, actually, more like, strapped my vibrams, and ran off in …
I’m alive!
A friend of mine would always respond to the nonchalant “how are you?” with “I can’t complain.” So taking a cue from him, I came up with my own array of responses that are more descriptive than “fine.” On the short list are “can’t complain” (how original right…), “I’m well” (then you know things are …

The year 2011 goes down in the history of my life as the toughest year yet. And where there are challenges, there are lessons to be learnt. So here are the top 3 lessons I learnt this past year: Lesson #1 Love at first sight does, indeed, exist Okay, well, maybe not love at first …
from Paul’s example…
I’ve been ruminating on 2 Timothy 2:3 of late which reads, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” This past year has revealed to me my lack of endurance when trying times come. Or at least, even though I “endured” the challenges, my attitude would not qualify as that of a …
Glad to be a creationist!
This morning, I’m so glad I’m a creationist! See, I was just thinking in the shower (the place from whence all brilliance emanates) that to believe that all things just naturally occur is deterministic – that once things are set in motion, they just flow to their determined end: An end determined by the laws …
Stop and smell the roses!
I was well on my way to writing another pessimistic post, this time about having children, when a conversation with a friend, on the topic, revealed a flaw in my perspective. It’s kinda like the whole glass half full or half empty thing… Focusing on the emptiness breeds fear, you see. But God has not …
