Life Worship Journal
Ooops! It's been a few days...
Well yesterday, October 12, I worshiped God through relationships. We had our family Thanksgiving meal yesterday evening and my mom's side of the family spent the day at our house. Her relatives are not saved. But we prayed before they came, asking God to use us however he saw fit, and he opened doors for us to share ( Read more... ) -

For October 4, 2008 -- Homework/Relationships
I wouldn't quite call it "homework" on Saturday, but it was part of my responsibilities as a Residence Assistant and Impact Leader. We had a floor-wide evening event that I have been helping plan for a couple of weeks now. We took our girls to the RDAC (gymnasium) and had a few team-building activities ( Read more... ) -

Life Worship Journal: Body
October 3, 2008
My awareness of worship today has to do with my body again. I'm still feeling a bit sick, but was at least able to make it to the dining hall for lunch.

I promise some regularity of posts for the next month. In fact, there should be one every day! Why this sudden change of habit, you ask? Well...for one of my classes I need to keep a "Life Worship Journal" for the month of October. Basically I choose three areas of my life and keep track of how I am worshiping God through those every-day, ( Read more... ) -
Faith
"What is faith?"
One of my professors asked us this question in class today. You'd think it would be easy to answer, especially considering we're in Bible college =)
But we were all stunned silent. Of course we came up with the 'Christian answers,' but were challenged to try to explain it to someone who wasn't familiar with religious expressions or ( Read more... ) -
Worship
We heard in chapel on Wednesday that worship is our response to God's revelation of himself. David, in 1 Chronicles 16, named numerous ways that we can worship God -- ways that are acceptable to him:
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful ( Read more... ) -

Excuses
I'm sorry...life's been busy since I've been home (and jet lag hasn't helped) and I haven't done Africa updates like I thought I would. I'm off to camp tomorrow until Friday, so don't expect anything this week. But Saturday, maybe on Saturday...
Actually, here's links to more pictures, if you want (still not all of them):

Contrasts
Well I'm on mind overload, but I wanted to pop by to say that I'm home. The trip was amazing.
Three weeks in Kenya seeing extreme poverty, but contented, friendly people
One week in England seeing extreme wealth and hurried, somewhat arrogant people.
Back home in Canada to "normal" life. What is normal, anyway? Mud huts in Africa, Buckingham Palace ( Read more... )
