That He May be Glorified.
Isn’t that the reason for the Christmas season? For every minute of every day of our lives? That He might be glorified? The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim…
Are You a Rejoicing Disciple?
I found these notes (from a sermon I heard at some point, I’m assuming) on my phone this weekend. Good thoughts here, folks. Are you a rejoicing disciple? Philippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. First look: “That’s not going to help.” Second look: 1. The context: (v.1) Stand…
Things I Miss
Apparently lots of my fellow American expats miss the snow during this time of year, when Dar starts to boil just as the snow is falling in many Northern states. Not me. But here’s a few things I do miss about living in the U.S. 1. Drinking out of the hose. Those days when you’re…
Moshi Sports Weekend
The buses pulled out of the parking lot at 5:30 a.m. Friday morning. 10 hours later, we arrived at the International School of Moshi. 37 students and staff piled out of the buses. Ready. Set. Go. The weekend started with boys’ basketball and Ultimate Frisbee. Then came boys’ football, volleyball, girls’ basketball, swimming, and the…

Unfortunately, this will be the last Notable November Note. I leave for the Moshi Sports Tournament at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning, and won’t have my laptop with me, and for some reason the WordPress app on my phone is completely useless and won’t let me edit or add anything on the site. Lame. But I’m…

Obviously, Thanksgiving is not an international holiday, but it is certainly nice to have a break. Not that I’ll be taking much of a break. Tomorrow, I’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving with…

Once again, the view on my ride to work was gorgeous. This time, I took the time to drive up to a high point a bit further up the road to be able to get a shot with my iPhone. Thunderstorms are beautiful, amazing works of creation. Though I had to laugh today after…
Notable November Notes: 25
I could resist putting another puppy photo up for today. Really, I wished I would have gotten a shot of the bay this morning. It was raining just before I left for school and dark clouds covered the ocean, with bright gold light outlining the clouds and the sun pouring around the edges of…

Meet Amini (pronounced ah-mee-nee). I feel like I just acquired a child. But hopefully, I also acquired a large, strong guard dog that lives up to her breed’s reputation. African Ridgebacks were originally bred to hunt lions, and are capable of running alongside galloping horses for over 30 kilometers. This particular puppy is seven…
