What Now?

Three weeks left into 2015, and I am realising that it wasn’t a very good year.

I got a lot done, yes.  But I got worn out in the process.

To Paris, With Love.

For Life, Liberty, and Love.

Last weekend, the US legalized same-sex marriage. Rainbow colors filled my screen when I finally got online after my mid-year fast. And with it, various commentaries and opinions – many of which are from the Christian community. I didn’t read or listen to what other people had to say.… Read more
