Hope

Space is still filled with the noise of destruction and annihilation, the shouts of self assurance and arrogance, the weeping of despair and helplesness. But round about the horizon the eternal realities stand silent in their age-old longing. There shines on them already the first mild light of the radiant fulfillment to come. From afar [...]

Jottings

One more conference and then the world stops spinning. It’s been a whirlwind of a few weeks! I am itching in every finger and brain cell to spend hours in writing out my thoughts regarding all that I have learned and seen; it will have to wait for just five more days. There’s a rich [...]

Aragorn On Worldview

In the whirlwind of apologetic debate this past week, I’ve found this quote dancing often about in my brain:
“It is hard to be sure of anything among so many marvels, the world is all gone strange… how shall a man judge what to do in such times?” said Eomer.
“As he ever has judged,” said Aragorn. [...]

Saturday Ruminations

It is evening and I am perched up here in my fourth floor room, the window open to the blue light and cool, the laughter of my housemates flitting up from the garden. My mind is awhir tonight after the ceaseless activity of this past week and it is good to sit in the quiet [...]

The New Anne

My beautiful sister Joy is on a new adventure; an audition for the role of Anne in a new prequel to the beloved Anne of Green Gables series. This promises to be a great movie as it is being done by the same company who produced the series we have all grown up loving so [...]

We’ve been living the high English life, traipsing round cathedrals and cobblestoned streets, hidden gardens and vast estates (think Mr. Darcy’s Pemberly…literally). We’ve had multitudinous cups of tea (the English average [...]

Witnesses

I was watched the other day; scrutinized by countless eyes whose gaze I could not catch. Not a single person else stood near and yet I was hemmed and hedged by souls who saw the going and the coming of my way. I was in a church you see. One of the old kinds [...]

From: Life is A Miracle

The walls of the rational, empirical world are famously porous. What come through are dreams, imagnings, inspirations, visions, revelations. There is no use in stooping over these with a magnifying lens. Beyond any earthly reason we experience beauty in excess of use, justice in excess of anger, mercy in excess of justice, love in excess [...]

Cambridge

Oh it’s beautiful here!
I greet you from my attic eaves nook of a little room with the limpid light of a rainy English evening filtering in through the curtains.  We have arrived. After an adventurous train journey we limped (a result of gigantic suitcases) off the train onto the Cambridge platform and were greeted by [...]
