As I prepared for writing my blurb for the engineering grad yearbook I considered things like who I am, and what I value the most. I remembered being introduced to Jim Collins ‘ work a year ago, reading up on his perspectives on leadership and posted a bit on my blog about it. Though I’d [...]
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. – Philippians 4:8
Perhaps my life verse. Far from it.
The verse has been far from my mind for a while, though it has sat as my wallpaper the [...]
As God continues to help me understand who I am it consequently helps me to understand what I’m made to do in this world. One of the revelations developing recently applies both for my longer term vocation and my current day actions. The motif is inspiration and influence.
Obviously anyone–even the most sedate and numb of [...]
I’ve been sick and had to take Monday off. Today (Wednesday) I went to work and toughed it out against a constant headache for more than half-day but eventually came home to rest. And rest I did. And then watched a movie. That brings me up to 4 movies in 3 days. Not astounding by [...]

Two girls. They showed up at my apartment today. They were making rounds fundraising for school. Soon to graduate, they want to study at a state university but face financial difficulties.

I watched Blood Diamond yesterday. A terrific movie.
Intense, RIVETING (ha!), disturbing, stirring.

Amazing deafblind lady. You can read about her life here. I first learned about her while helping out in AWANA when they showed a cartoon movie of her =p
