Lately, I’ve felt like the cold weather will never end. It seems like every single week of the winter has brought more snow, more cold, more icy, and more dreariness. But — at last! — I have hope that we’re seeing the end of winter.
Average temperature for the first five days of March: 28 degrees. [...]

This is not the time to be writing a love letter.
Bluntly, I’ve got snot all over my face. It’s pouring both down my throat and out my nose, wherein it joins a non-stop stream of tears that have rendered this screen in front of me all but unreadable. [...]
There’s something both precious and painful about evenings out with my fellow teachers at school. All of us so clearly desire, and desire badly, to be friends, because we are all living in a foreign country far from home’s shores, and we consequently know that the immediately available pool of English-speaking Christians from which [...]

Here’s how I knew I’d arrived back in the R.O.K. this morning:
After passing through “Wonderful Immigration!” (make whatever bizarre face you want, but that is what the sign says), I was almost immediately met by a middle-aged man, quite Asian in appearance, who asked me where I was going.
“Seoul,” I replied - which wasn’t quite [...]
I’m disappointed in Life Promotions, the organization that organizes the Lifest Festival each summer in Oshkosh, WI. (Full disclosure: I attended Lifest 2007 with my sister.)
Last year and this year, Lifest hosted the “Air Glory” ride at the festival. Air Glory is a bungee-jump type of ride, available for $25 a ride to festival attendees. [...]
No. Numbers 23:19 reads: “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” There.
But LORD knows, He (!) is referred to as such in [...]
Oy; the good folks at the Bridge-Linguatec School just sent me a packet on information concerning the CELTA certification course (Cambridge English Language Teaching Association), which - God willing - I’m taking this June. And here’s an excerpt:
“…The course is very intensive. Trainees need a great deal of energy and stamina [...]
The following’s an excerpt from Mark Joseph’s most recent column, entitled ‘A&E’s faith problem’:
My wife and I sat riveted the other night, watching Larry King Live as he showed clips from A&E’s made-for-TV version of the events of September 11th on board Flight #93. Among King’s guests was Lisa Jefferson, the Verizon operator [...]
