Random thoughts on a random day.

Random thought #1: Why do so few Christians fast? (At least so few of the people I’ve known.) It seems to me that in our current consumer culture, where there is such a tendency towards gluttony and addictions of all sorts, fasting is an especially important discipline.

Warning: Cleaning Your Room Can Kill You

So, I did it. I cleared out my writing room, completely overhauled it. I meant to write about it earlier, how freeing the experience was, but I’ve been busy, too busy to do much blogging, and by the time I was slightly less busy, the Implications had hit me, knocked me into a mental and […]

You may be a missionary kid if…

You could swear in seven languages, but don’t. You know what to do if you’re being swallowed by an anaconda. You don’t get why your friends don’t believe your bracelet is made out of elephant hair.

Hibernation

I think my brain popped a fuse last week, or at least went into hard-core energy conservation mode. Blogging may be pretty sketchy until the holidays are over, but if I find I can form a coherent sentence, I will. So, in lieu of a scintillating mini-article, (hah!) I’ll post something Chistmas-ey from my neck […]
