transforming families and communities through christ-centred relationships
This is going to be a really quick one. I’m heading off for a one week holiday with my parents, my sister and her extended family. It’s a really big family get together of sorts, and I’m really grateful to my parents for organising this (Disneyworld in case you’re wondering!). The site is going to… [Continue Reading]
It’s been a while since I’ve written something personal about my family so there’s definitely quite a lot I can choose to talk about. Over the next few weeks you’ll likely see more updates. But for now, I’m going to fuse Emma’s request for more book reviews and my overwhelming appreciation for this book together… [Continue Reading]
Just went through our camera videos and decided to start posting a few family videos up. This is the first instalment. Probably all parents think they’re kids are cool and now I know why. Grace is actually hitting the drum notes on beat (and when they land in the Guitar Hero World Tour game –… [Continue Reading]
A few weekends ago we decided to take a 1.5 hour drive out to the Midwest Country-side to do some apple picking before the weather turned bad. The day was forecasted to be raining and wet, but praise God! it was perfect weather. It turned out to be a really great day. We picked a… [Continue Reading]
Ok, I know I'm a day late, but Magic Kingdom opened yesterday and Disney's blog (I know you're all following that blog everyday) just posted this amazing video of a day in the life of Magic Kingdom. Created using still photography and a technique called tilt-shift photography, I've got to say its the coolest thing… [Continue Reading]
I'm sure I've said this before, but in case I haven't .. the street that we live on is ABSOLUTELY fantastic. Firstly, I'm convinced that it was God's providence and grace that placed us on this street. I arrived with only one week to find a place. I go for dinner at the Harrower's place… [Continue Reading]
I know that summer is long gone and that I'm now into my third week of the Fall semester, but there's just a long lag of blog posts that I need to do. It was a fantastic summer here in Chicago. I was kept very busy learning a great new language and the kids and… [Continue Reading]
Wow. its been just very very long since I've had the spare time to write on the blog. This doesn't mean that a lot hasn't been going on, its just that I've been keen to discharge all my responsibilities before I get on to things that I really like doing (like writing on this blog)….

I'm really still completely engulfed with Greek (hence the lack of updates on here), but I thought I'd take a moment from the ancient world of Koine to write about a surprise guest we had last week. Amanda (who's now in Canada for a bit) decided to come down to Chicago and crash with us…. [Continue Reading]
Greek is pretty much the whole world for me for the next five weeks. I'm in classes from 8:30am to 12 everyday. That's not too bad if that's all there is but I'm really finding that it requires much more than this. Everyday there's new vocabulary, translations, new tenses and chapters. Also there's a test… [Continue Reading]
