“Oh no! They're burnt!” Bear said with a look of distress. Vivien, Sanny, and I just laughed. It was just like any other Friday. We were waiting for our friends to arrive so girls night could begin. It was already a quarter past 7, and we were beginning to think no one would show up. [...]
My roommate and I, we have a dog. Yup, that’s right! There are a number of stray dogs in our area, and we have decided to adopt one; or rather she has adopted us. Her name is Bebe, and she’s a collie. I met her one of my first days here in this country, as [...]
We were getting a late start. Girls' Night was supposed to begin at 7:00PM, but it was a few minutes after that time when I received a phone call from one of the guys on my team. A friend of his had brought a girl to Guys' Night! I left our group to rescue her [...]
Let me paint a picture for you: It's about 7:30 PM, the sky is a darkish-blue as the sun has just ducked under the horizon. The temperature outside has dropped significantly as evening has come. I'm standing there in my bathing suit (you don't need to picture that!) on the edge of the largest outdoor [...]
The Lord continues to show me how I need to trust in Him daily. As some of you might know, this past weekend I got hit by a taxi riding my bike. Don't worry, I am fine! I have many bruises on my left leg (that's the side that the taxi driver hit). When he [...]
What would a moment look like when a person is teetering between forever life and forever death? I think I saw one this week. “If I believe in the Son, do I need to refuse all other beliefs?” The question normally wouldn’t bother me at all–I would just say yes and explain why. But this [...]
Harry walked in and pointed at me. “You!” he said. I responded by pointing back at him and said, “You.” He was visiting our Sunday party for the first time. Before this he had many excuses about not coming, but had promised me he would come that night. After the party, I sat down with [...]
In anticipation of my return home, I’ve started the oh-so-fun process of looking for a job. Well, not just a job. I want the right job. Which is tough since I don’t really know what the right job is, and I’d just as soon come back here. So I was on Clarkson’s career website looking [...]
One of my favorite experiences of last year was getting to teach a worship leading/guitar class. It was so much fun! There were maybe 6-10 students who would come every week. Some were more faithful in coming than others. But the ones who were in the class really got it. Every week the class was [...]
Paradise. This is what most of my students answered to this question during one of my classes the other day. I have a class on Saturday mornings from 9 am to 12 pm every week. This class is very different than all my other classes because the students are more around my age and more [...]
