Realizing this poor old blog has been quite neglected in recent months, I was perusing some of my “stats” about the activity it’s seen recently. First of all, I thought it would be time, once again, to share some of the Google searches that have brought random viewers to this very website:

Waiting Room
Posted in Uncategorized on May 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I will run when I cannot walk.
I will play when there is no song.
I will pray when there is no prayer.
I will listen when I cannot hear.
Sitting in the waiting room of silence,
Waiting for that still soft voice I know,
Offering my words up to the rooftop to Your heart,
Trusting that this closet’s where you are.
I [...]
Thanks for coming!

Over the past few weeks, Lisa and I have been lucky hosts to some great friends who have journeyed North for a visit to the ‘couve. At the beginning of April, our friends Jess and Tik (some call her “Tara”) Williams came for a weekend getaway and enjoyed one of our first non-freezing weekends of [...]

1. It’s hard to look manly while retrieving kleenex from mini-kleenex packet while riding the bus.
2. I feel guilty and awful every time I cough, as if the whole world is looking at me like, “why are you even out here in the world of the healthy, spreading your nastiness around?!”
3. Mouth breathing.
4. Dull headache.

I am pleased to report that we enjoyed two back-to-back days of SUNSHINE here in Vancouver over the weekend. There’s just something so glorious about the sun…the way it warms your face and makes you squint your eyes…and for those of us in the Pacific Northwest (which I suppose would be the Pacific Southwest, here [...]
Some new slang…
Posted in Friends, Regent, tid bit, tagged Say what!? on March 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »
As I’ve mentioned in the past, one of our favorite things about Regent is the opportunity to become friends with people from all over the world. We’ve learned some fantastic bits of slang that have emerged from conversations with our new friends from the UK.
One night, whilst driving to a downtown bar for drinks [...]
What if?

“Each day, we go about our business.
Walking past each other,
catching one another’s eyes.
Or not.
All about us is noise.
We encounter each other in words.
Words spiny, or smooth.
Words whispered or declaimed.
Words to consider.
Reconsider.
Some live by ‘love thy neighbor as thyself.’
Others by ‘first, do no harm’
or ‘take no more than you need.’
What if the mightiest word is LOVE?
Love [...]

There are two options to consider when you read the first part of my last blog…the letter to my sweet baby niece. You could:
1. Assume my new niece breathes water. I mean, her name is Ariel, after all.
2. Assume I am a loser that forgot how to express “oxygen” using the [...]

So…I wanted to write all about our fun-filled weekend, but it’s already FRIDAY. Which is an excellent reflection of the pandemonium that has been my life these past few weeks. The last 14 days have been work work work. Big research paper due in one class, medium-sized project due in another class, big Greek exam…not [...]
Seriously…

So…wine, meat, and dairy products might be more expensive here. And we still miss Target and Fred Meyer. But seriously? The fall in Vancouver is like nothing I’ve seen before. Ever. Lisa and I went for a walk around our neighborhood this past weekend, and this is what we saw (plus one pic from Stanley [...]
