Tracy came in and slumped onto a chair. She didn’t look like her usual bubbly self this Saturday night. “Tracy,” asked Pinky, “Are you ok?” Tracy said she had caught a cold and thought she had a fever. She didn’t feel well at all, but really wanted to come to our Girls’ Night Bible study [...]
Happy Easter everyone! I hope each of you had a time to celebrate and remember just how much God loves each one of us! My Easter was pretty special…my roommates and I each invited a few friends over to watch the Passion of Christ. I have seen the movie before but not in a long [...]
Maxine clung to me. Her hands were wet with sweat. It was as if she was a part of the drama going on before our very eyes. She didn’t understand what was happening. She didn’t know why they were whipping the man. She didn’t know why they made him carry a cross why they drove [...]
“You have to meet this guy!” This was what Vicky, one of our sisters told me back in February. Meeting a boy she met on her vacation didn’t seem like a priority to me though, and so I never got around to it. She was still determined though, and so she brought him to a [...]

Our pride can really get in the way sometimes. It can become a dangerous hindrance in our lives if given the power and can keep us from experiencing the things God wants to do in us. I had a lot of bike riding accidents when I was little. I remember this one time during the [...]
As the three of us hurried past the multitude of stores and people near the east gate of our campus, my stomach was rolling with hunger pains. I was eager to see where our friend Pei Pei was taking us. There was hardly a sign for the restaurant, only a single staircase squeezed in between [...]
I am sure that the immigrants to America back in the day had a rough trip overseas. But I think that I can somewhat relate to their plight. My journey started out several days before as I tried to jam all of my clothes and souvenirs into my luggage. After a first failed attempt I [...]
