It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been reading various books but didn’t finish one to post till now. I found this book very insightful and inspiring, highly recommend this old treasure. I love the style of writing of old books. Books I started and did not finish: Growing Together by Melissa Kruger I […]

I bought this book, by Voddie Baucham Jr. after hearing about it on a podcast, when my older daughter was starting to date. I skimmed it and didn’t think much of it. My daughter has been married for 3 years with a one-year old baby now, and I just read the book thoroughly. I should’ve […]
It took me a long time to read this book, not because it’s not interesting. I was just caught up in reading a lot of blog posts about church things. It seemed more urgent to learn about how to run a church than to learn about the holiness of God…which of course is a case […]
I bought this book a while back after listening to them on a podcast. The practical ways they helped couples work through ordinary struggles made a lot of sense. I finally got around to reading it. I usually give a book to couples getting married. I am now going to give them this book. While […]
This book was recommended by a missionary friend. She said I don’t have to read the chapters in order. Each chapter describes how God is moving among the Muslims in different regions of the world to bring them to Jesus. I only read one chapter, not the whole book. So this does not count as […]
Elisabeth Elliot is one of my heroes. I salvaged this book from the box of church library books. Never throw away an Elisabeth Elliot book, no matter how old the cover looks! Turns out my daughter purchased a new copy! Sigh… There was so much in this book to think about as I read it. […]
I am behind in my goal of reading 14 books this year. You would think that staying at home would give me more time to read. But without a fixed schedule, I have not scheduled reading time. And when I sit down to read, I feel guilty. I should be reading something else more immediate […]
The best thing about not going to physical church for Sunday worship is I can relax and enjoy worship at home with my husband and daughter. That doesn’t happen when I am in Children Ministry at the physical church. Even though the online worship is not the same as being together with the church, the […]
Amidst the COVID-19 distress, I met a nice neighbor up the street with a 3rd grade girl. She and her dad were in their front yard playing while I was taking my daily walk. They were probably desperate for conversation with the outside world. Under normal circumstances, we would’ve waved and move on. But they […]
Being a missionary in the jungles of Africa is risky. Going to the market in COVID-19 pandemic is risky. I think it’s a dishonor to the missionaries to use the word “risky” in both situations. I really like online meet ups. Makes relationships so much more accessible, more efficient, and depth of sharing is the […]
