I’ve been in rehearsals for the musical “South Pacific” again. Didn’t realize that my first scene comes on way later, over an hour into the show! So I bring books and a diary…maybe this way it won’t feel like time wasted. I’ve never seen the show in its entirety before, so at least it’s not [...]
On the second night of the retreat I began to feel terribly sick. I wasn’t able to sleep, and not wanting to be tired the next day (couldn’t really afford to, having to play in the band and all) I began to pray to the Lord for healing. (As well as asking Him for forgiveness [...]
Spent Sunday morning at church which is quite rare for me. It was my cousin’s first Holy Communion. When people ask me why I don’t go to church, sometimes I tell them that the Latin meaning of the word church is “a body of believers’ and since I am almost always surrounded by believers/disciples of [...]
Well I’ve just returned from our annual area retreat which we invite friends, supporters, and just about anyone else interested in The Family to. I was there playing with our band and I took advantage of the opportunity to take my kids along, as last year I attended and enjoyed the event immensely.
Kuala Lumpor is really hot! Took a trip up to a mountain resort with my Uncle, his wife, and my two cousins (really fun hospitable people). The weather up there was beautiful, cooler than in town. Everything was so beautiful that I had to take a lot of pictures. We drove up the hill half [...]
Uneventful and short plane ride, just a little turbulence. Arrived at around 5:00 in the morning KL time (about 2.5 hours ahead of India). The Airport is huge but deserted so early in the morning. My uncle came to pick us up. The weather is a quite different from Bangalore, very humid. Thank God for [...]
Well, things here continue to be exciting. Imagine this! Recently I have had tea with the king, dinner with the queen, and today… lunch with a prince! I feel like a little girl at Christmas time, gleefully unwrapping the presents God has given me. I just pray that with all this excitement, I can continue [...]
Watched "Hotel Rwanda" the other night. I loved the way they depicted the harsh reality of the plight of many poor countries today. It spelled out the attitude all too clearly: "You’re not even a nigger…you’re an African." A friend of mine was in that very hotel when events depicted in the movie took place. [...]
Get on board a fast train Travel on a jet plane Far away, and breakaway I spread my wings and I learn how to fly I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky Gotta make a wish Take a chance Make a change… and breakaway I’m sitting in the Chennai (India) airport departure [...]
This week we resumed our activities at the Light House club after a few months hiatus. The idea of the club is to give our Family youth an opportunity to witness to other young people in what I would call a “witnessing friendly environment.” It’s a rented second-story room at a soccer club that has [...]
