From the WM: Hello Kitty, a Sad Tale, as told by... →
So, after a conversation about Melo/Mammy the Mammothseal and Eunie, which are two of Liana’s stuffed animals (or “soulful” beasts as she likes to call them), she recalled a fond memory of a similar experience in which she attempted to communicate with the spirits of the other dimension, the ones…
The last sentence is hysterical. If you know Justin or Liana, this is darned funny. Maybe...

Hello, Anger
Hello, Anger.
I thought last week I’d dealt with you, it seemed you were on the low end of emotional manifestation (or emotional construct if you prefer to see it that way). And even getting away this past weekend seemed to provide space for clarity and objectivity, for remembering the painful past with understanding and forgiveness. But the moment I returned to campus you awoke and started...
God, be God.
I recognize that without the lordship of Christ, I will be quickly destroyed by the simultaneous hatred and heartache that burns inside.
God be God within me.
As I’ve known, love that dies (rightly wrongly well or poorly) becomes a cancer. God you have to kill this or it will kill me. I don’t want to be this way. I want to be free, pure, holy, righteous, and loving. But the weight of...
“Fund development isn’t something we suffer through so we can do ministry....”
– InterVarsity fund development training manual.
So good to remember. I interpreted the “IS ministry” two ways:
It’s a ministry opportunity to share and serve supporters. You never know what God might do in your conversation with them.
It’s a ministry/service to ME. As an...

Some basic rules on how to dress [well] →
NOTE: I don’t agree with all of his rules — (1) the hat is outdated for most standard men even of good dressing, (2) the brown/coloration rules are adaptable per time of year (for instance, wearing a black suit as a guest to a summer wedding or joyful occasion [if you have something else] is a stylistic offense) — but this is nice/basic place to start.
Socioeconomic reasons...

Regrowing
Making a new heart in the aftermath of total ruin is a slow and painful process. It is tearing with a garden claw into the earth of your soul to remove the old and deeply-driven roots that have found their place, tearing up well-packed soil that was ready to stand the test of time. Once cleared, you have keep those roots from slinking back in lest they find the former nooks and spaces they...

Amy: In SBSB, there's a lot of hugging. We're a very touchy-feely group.
Greg: You mean a very touchy-feely, alcohol-dependent group.
Amy: Hey now! That's just me.
Ministry headache? Ministry hangover?
I guess it’s a tension headache but I have this strange headache that affects the back of my head and the left side only immediately rear of the left ear and stopping about the midline of my head. I’ve felt it in the same spot both this morning and now this afternoon. I can’t remember if I had them yesterday or not. I remember it accompanying a vague sense of feeling unwell (but...

Support Amy Tsai’s AWESOME organization
Amy Tsai is a most wonderful Duke IV senior who has really seen God work in amazing ways this past summer during her time in inner city Los Angeles. Her work with high-risk youth has been a place where God has done incredible stuff to bring people together and deliver a really powerful sense of hope in places were it can be hard to find. So, if you’re a Duke student, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use...

Today, I let my students watch bball and eat panda. In chem lab. No joke, I think one of the guys used a beaker for a water cup.
Then I emailed the class to tell them that we are basically the coolest section because we watch bball and eat panda and get the lab done. Now that’s what I call multitasking.
But I accidentally sent it to the entire Chem 32 class.
And possibly...

Bronx 2010 -- Intro reflection
If I’m not spending my time crying out to God for the people I want to serve/love, then what am I looking to for what I need?
If I’m not eating the Word like it matters every day, then what am I feeding on?
How many decisions do I make on best knowledge that I didn’t need to, but did because I assumed that the Spirit didn’t want to or wouldn’t speak to me?
How many...
Bronx 2010 -- Fourth & Final
Dear friends, As you know, I’ll be leaving for the Bronx, NY for IV’s annual spring break missions trip along with 22 other chapter members. We’re from all different grades and points in our walk with God as well as involvement in this community so it’s definitely an exciting time that’s bringing many people together. This is my fourth year going on the trip and...
