1 Thessalonians 4:1
Yesterday, I received the final document I needed from Japan in order to apply for my visa: the Certificate of Eligibility. I made a collage of it above so that I could block out the sensitive parts of the document. But that's basically what it looks like. On that note, I guess now is as …
I wrote this week's blog post that appears on my church's website and in our weekly bulletin. It being Father's Day, I of course wrote about that. Picture: The "dads" in my immediate family with my niece Kara Elise. My dad, my brother (Kara Elise's dad) and my brother's father in law. Praise the Lord …
My 7th blog in a row. Can you tell I'm excited about Japan? Of course, it's still March (despite when this is actually getting published). But also I've been sick. I was home sick all day on Monday. Then Tuesday, I worked half day because I needed to get stuff done. Yesterday was almost a …
Meeting with my boss, Pastor Les, this morning. He gave me an encouragement that I thought I should take up. He told me that I should really take the time at least once a week to write. Not just these random blog posts. But something a little more substantial. His reasoning was pretty good. Just …

I'm studying the Kana. It's March 27, and this is my third blog post in three days (remember, I wrote these blogs soon after I was accepted to my new job in Japan, but well before Pastor Les announced it in church... I had originally scheduled these blogs to start publishing in June. But since …
Yet another one of the blog posts I wrote in those early days of excitement when I first accepted the position to go to Japan. In this blog post, I talk about the immediate steps I took to restart my Japanese learning. Unfortunately, the fervour has waned a little bit with the business of work …
