1 Thessalonians 4:1
(Note: The picture above is not my actual weight. It's just a random photo I found online) I wasn't planning on blogging about this, but my friends encouraged me to do so (actually they said I should vlog about it, but I really don't feel up for that). It's not that I'm ashamed of the …
*Sigh*. I really tried blogging regularly. But obviously it's still not something that I can make a part of my routine. I had a feeling I would lapse, of course. And I even had a feeling it would happen when it did - over Christmas. The past 3 months have indeed been busy with travels …
It's been like 3 weeks since I last posted on this blog, even though I came to Japan hoping to at least do one post a week - preferably two. I have started a couple of posts, but got bored of writing them. But they're somewhere in the pipeline and hopefully I will get to …
In my last post, I talked about this requirement that Paul teaches for "Overseers" or Elders to be "above reproach". It's a deep phrase that Paul needs to unpack with two different lists of qualities, one positive and one negative.

Usually this leads to the character somehow being transported to their bed and taken care of by the love interest. Sometimes the love interest actually starts off as …
Happy Friday everyone! I was originally going to write about my school for this week's blog post. But... first of all, it occurred to me that it's going to be difficult to find enough material to try to blog every week. So I'm gonna pare my updates down to maybe every other week. Second, at …
Do you have an email signature? Different people have different information in their email signatures. For me, I usually had my full name, title, and email address, along with a tag-line quote (which for the past 5 years or so has been "Make a Joyful Noise!" from Psalm 98). I really liked using email signatures, …
