Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers over the past few days concerning the CU’s event, What Would Jesus Say to Muhammad?. We all appreciated them so much, and once the speaker arrived everything seemed to go without a hitch. Jay Smith was very clear and explained salvation quite nicely, explaining the need for sacrifice [...]

Affectionately Known As “The One They Tried To Cancel”
Posted in Uncategorized on April 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Once again, it happens that I’m excited about the day after tomorrow–but this time, for an entirely different reason. The day after tomorrow, Wednesday, April 30th, sees the product of over a year’s worth of planning and praying and expectation. And at 6:30 GMT (1:30 EST) in the Roberts Lecture Hall at Kingston University a man [...]
If Curiosity Killed the Cat, I’d Be On My Ninth Life–At Least!
Posted in Uncategorized on April 27, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Being human, I am a curious being. Curious to the point of being nosy, sometimes. I’ll see a snippet of a conversation on Facebook, and naturally will click on the participants’ wall-to-wall to see the rest of it. Or I’ll see a funny headline in a British newspaper and read over the owner’s shoulder, though I [...]
The Day After Tomorrow

The day after tomorrow is going to be a great day, I can tell already. Because by that time I will have finished this terrifying, stressful research paper for British Life and Culture–in fact, I will have by then handed it in, forever done with it until I receive the grade, past the point of [...]
Tea Time!

As if there isn’t a time for tea.
No, really–my housemate and I began listing the occasions for which one might make a cup of tea, and our list became so comprehensive that we decided we should make a commercial. That, unfortunately, has not yet materialised; however, I feel that tea is an important part of [...]
The Church Abroad

In case you didn’t make it to the end of my last, really long post, I’m going to overlap just a little bit today by saying that I went to Fairfield Church on Sunday evening and was pleased to find that, as far as I can see from my one attendance, it is Biblically sound. [...]
The Week in Review

I think it’s about time I broke this abnormal silence.
I bet some of you had begun to think that I had sworn off the Internet, or gone to some remote village in the highlands, or fallen off the face of the earth, or something. I would have, if I were you. Instead, the boring truth [...]
Why Not?
Posted in Uncategorized on April 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This has become one of my favorite questions lately, because I find that we–Christians especially–don’t ask it enough. Sometimes we just don’t dream big enough, and we’re content with the way things are now simply because we have no idea of what they could be.
For instance, could it be that the church grows so much [...]
The [KUCU] Office

I’ve had a great weekend, thanks for asking. Because I went to a Christian Union House Party this weekend and hung out with some great people and had great fun and learned great things. My InterVarsity friends may recall the fall beach retreat last semester; it was insanely similar to that, and I’m so glad [...]
Friends in High Places

I’ll be brief, but I feel as if I have an apology to make.
I love Facebook; with one stop, I can find out how (and what!) all my friends are doing and I don’t feel so out of the loop while I’m away. On the other hand, I can let all of them know how [...]
