Today I’ve felt the urge to write. Really write. The blog is a good place to start, I suppose.
My thoughts of the past several days do not wish to translate themselves to words, but I can say that they have been — mostly — lucid. I’m sitting here trying to think of how to describe [...]

Christmas lights
Posted in Uncategorized on December 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
As I walked in my neighborhood today, I glanced at various windows to see the soft lights of Christmas bulbs shining from their trees. At one house, a single candle lit each pane.
I began to think about the traditions of Christmas, and of how pleasant it is to have twinkly lights, delectable desserts, and [...]
renewal, revisited

As referenced in my last entry, I’ve been thinking lately about renewal.
This year, I’ve experienced what I’d term renewal in several areas of my life. It has meant a return of optimism. It has meant a fresh bubbling of hope. It has meant leaving behind difficult, painful past experiences and reaching forward to new [...]
renewal

“He satisfies you with goodness; your youth is renewed like the eagle” (Psalm 103:5).
“When You send Your breath, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth” (Psalm 104:30).
The first verse is the promise of youth being renewed. The second talks of God renewing the face of the earth – a broader promise [...]
here I sit, not at work

Once again, I’m sick.
I’m trying valiantly to have a good attitude about this. There surely is a purpose in it, but I confess I see nothing but frustration and unpleasantness and inconvenience at the moment. I’d been over my other long-lasting malady for only a week or two, when on Sunday I came down with [...]

new places and spaces

Hello from my new house.
I moved this week to a cute, 1950s-era, petite 2-bedroom house where I took up residence with my friend Eva. So far I am enjoying my own space + a roommate, and I feel like this is precisely the situation God has for me to grow in during this life season. [...]

Here I am. Sick again.
It seems only a few weeks ago that I was sick. Oh, yes. It was only a few weeks ago. Alas, yesterday I came down quite suddenly with something nasty. I felt fine all day at work, and then as soon as I arrived home and found a traffic ticket awaiting [...]
on weddings

I’ve returned from a short weekend trip to Indiana, where I watched another friend tie the knot. Weddings are almost surreal events, I’ve noticed, even when I am present for all the lead-up to them. I watch the bridesmaids do hair and make-up, don their dresses, and help the bride adjust her veil. Food is [...]

I’ve been writing articles for Ungrind Webzine for a while, and was recently asked to begin contributing to their blog, Fresh Brew. Check out the site to read my first post there. Hope you like.
(Oh, and no worries. I’m not abandoning this blog by any means. The web cannot get rid of me that easily!)
