I don’t have much to say today, but I wanted to post on Leap Day, just ’cause I won’t get a chance to post on it for another 4 years . . .
Speaking of 4, I’ve been contemplating life’s 4 biggest questions. Important as they are, these questions are ones that majority of the people [...]

One Year
It’s snowing today. Or raining. Not sure which one, really. Still, it’s thinking weather out there. And this is what I’m thinking today.
I’m gonna start a blog . . . .
That’s how this whole thing began on 25 February 2007, so Happy Anniversary, and thanks for reading.
It’s funny, because as far as the weather goes, it’s [...]

The Life of an MK . . . or is it?
My sister Emily’s Facebook profile includes the following in her “About Me” section. Maybe someday I’ll post something that better reflects our actual experiences, but for now, you can get all the misconceptions all in one place.
I’m from Africa, and yes, I’m white. I grew up in the jungle. It was kind of rough because we had [...]

On being a sinner
It’s awful being one of those, isn’t it? The longer I live and the more I read God’s Word, the more I see the ugliness of my heart and my thoughts and my deeds and my words. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to turn into a gut-spilling confessional – the wide world web isn’t the [...]

pursuit
Psalm 23:6 “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.“
My sister sent me this little commentary on the word “follow”:
“The Hebrew word is ‘radaph,’ and can be translated as ‘to pursue, hound, or chase.’ I think it’s such a cool picture! God’s goodness and [...]

good news
From today’s Nation (a newspaper in Kenya):
“The government dropped its demands for a re-count and a new tally of the presidential votes, while the ODM leadership gave up pushing for the resignation of President Kibaki, a re-run of the elections, or a new election in a year’s time. It was agreed that the only option [...]

Scrabble & “seats seven”
(I wrote this post over Christmas break, then kind of forgot to post it. . . better late than never, I suppose.)
The other night I played Scrabble with my mom. The game amazes me. I think about all the connections my brain is making as it manipulates words and letters – it’s actually an extremely complex [...]

a very white day
Psalm 147:16 “He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.”
We sure got given a whole lot of wooly snow today in southeast Wisconsin – over a foot right now, with more coming down. When I walked out the door on my way to work, I thought, This is about the whitest day [...]

Aliens in America (and in this world in general)
Last night my sister, Emily, and I bonded over a song, one you’ve probably heard if you’ve watched TV at all lately. I know, it’s a corny way to come across new music, but it’s the tune that plays during the latest Mac laptop commercial – “New Soul” by Yael Naim. (The song’s on YouTube, [...]

the opposite of tarasso
A friend gave me a Bible promise book for Christmas and I find myself turning through its pages frequently as I face different trying situations. Some situations are difficult due to the day-to-day stress of life, others are hard because there are no easy answers, no quick fixes, no instant healing balm for the deeper [...]
