For the record, I really have no idea what the above saying means, or where it came from for that matter... but it sounded appropriate. Why is the proof in the pudding? I do understand the gist of the saying, otherwise I would not have used it to title this entry. But the nagging question…
Being Called a Sheep Isn’t a Good Thing
I wrote this piece while serving in Africa as a missionary. At the time, I was living in a small village far away from city life. The observations made in my time there profoundly shaped how I understand the Bible. I pray this one does the same for you. I had a quick thought to…
Journal Entry – 12/15/09
As you have probably noticed, I am going through old journal entries in order to "catch up" my blog on life out here. Here is one from this past December: It has been entirely too long since I wrote in this journal. It is funny, as life gets increasingly normal here, the desire to chronicle…
Another Journal Entry – 11/12/09
Here is a journal entry from last November, after I had started living out in the bush to do my language study. I thought this would be a good one to share. Well, boredom set in yesterday. All seemed well as the first two or three days moved by. I actually began to think it…

The Resurrection
Ironically enough, my quiet time this morning found me in Matthew 28. I try to read straight through scripture book by book as I study it, instead of taking little sections from here and there and piecing them together. I find it easier to hear what God is saying when I read it the way…
My First Journal Entry
I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. I wrote this a couple of days after getting settled in. Looking back, its a bit dramatic... but this was all new then. Since then, the journal entires have become much less frequent (unfortunately) and I find myself overlooking things that now seem normal…
I Miss My Soapbox…
I guess it was only a matter of time before I got the itch to blog. After all, I do have a bit of free time here, and God is teaching me a whole lot so far through this process. So, for all of the people who are contacting me for updates and wanting to…
