Seeing as apparently, “in the case of a blog, no news is bad news,” and because I have heard reports of earthquake activity in jolly old England, I would like to set your minds at ease by reporting that I knew nothing of it until this afternoon. I didn’t feel a thing, though others did, [...]

The Three Newses
Posted in Uncategorized on February 26, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I try very hard not to post two days in a row, because I feel like it sets a bad precedent, and my life every single day could possibly get boring to read about at that rate. But, I want to give you some bad news, followed by good news, followed by just plain fun [...]
A Wales of a Tale

Just so that I can say that I’ve told you what I’m going to tell you, I’ve told you, and then I tell you what I’ve told you, allow me to state that in this post I shall be discussing the Prince of Wales, Anthony Hopkins, sheep, singing, coal mines, and Tintern Abbey. And, to [...]
My Generation
Posted in Uncategorized on February 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I hadn’t meant to write today until a little over an hour ago when I heard the first few words of Steven Furtick’s sermon, the first in the series entitled “My Generation” at Elevation Church. And I’ve waited this hour afterwards to hear the rest of it before I blogged. Because it’s all about purpose, and [...]
Per Your Request…

My sources tell me that some have despaired of ever seeing me in any of my pictures. There’s a simple explanation, really: I’m usually the one taking the pictures, and I’ve never been good at holding the camera at arm’s length or anything.
But….drumroll, please….that changes TODAY, because TODAY I was walking around with a group [...]
Communion
Posted in Uncategorized on February 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
We did have communion in church today, as you may have guessed based on the post title. It was a good service, though the wine threw me off a bit. Yes, they used real wine. In a Baptist church, no less. (See, back home that would be almost unheard-of.) And I couldn’t very well reject [...]
Dress Rehearsals
Posted in Uncategorized on February 16, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Not long ago–maybe a year–I found myself sliding curtains onto rods to form the walls of a middle school ministry space at Elevation Church. What’s so odd about that, you wonder? Nothing except that the year before that I had been sliding curtains onto rods to form a puppet stage at Riverside Baptist Church. Granted, [...]
How You Can Help…

I know that many of you are praying for me already, and I thank you so much for that. But, today I want to let you know a way that you can pray specifically. I don’t want to alarm anyone, either, though; nothing is wrong yet. However, if things continue on their present course without [...]
Picture Perfect Launch

To begin, I would like to apologize for last night’s skeletal and boring post. Oh, I am most certain that it was quite dull, because I was far too tired to try anything with any humour. But today, after a good 12 hours of sleep–more like 13, really, from about 7:30 last night until 8:45 [...]
Past the Point of Exhaustion
Posted in Uncategorized on February 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I probably shouldn’t even post right now. It’s been an exhausting day. My feet hurt like crazy.
I blame London.
I didn’t even get there until 11:30 this morning, so I really don’t know what my problem is. I didn’t even get there early enough to catch all of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace! [...]
