Maggie Greene walked through the school’s lobby, bold as hot molasses on cold grits. Many of the students were waiting in that old, dusty lobby, lingering outside their classroom doors until the clock struck 8:19. There were no warning bells in the Clayton Elementary school. It was...

Oh to go back in time. What if we had the DMC DeLorean Dr. Emmett Brown and Marty McFly used to travel through time in Back to the Future? We could go back and see all the places we left wisdom laying, the places we could have learned valuable lessons, but, for one reason or another, we chose to...

Aside from cutting my free time short, writing has affected my reading habits in a lot of different ways, and they aren’t all nice.

Back in the day, I’d pick up a book and just read until I reached the other cover – I’d even read the copyright statement, acknowledgement, biography...

Det, der gør bogen så speciel, er, udover sproget, at Mo Yan evner at skrive kærlighed og tragedie, realisme og fantastiske beskrivelser, satire, drømme, monologer, dialoger og minder i en uafbrudt strøm af ord, der uden pause eller ophold fremmaner historien som et fantastisk maleri for dit indr...

For years I’ve wanted to move my website onto WordPress. The technology felt daunting and included moving my emails to a new program. But on Friday while trying to add more buttons in the black menu bar at the top of my WordPress blog site, I accidentally published a BLANK BLOG POST. I quickly wr...

On this Holy Tuesday: Let us pray to the Lord. O you who observe all things with your eye that never sleeps, who afford us such saving lessons in your desire to grant mercy to all who seek it: We give thanks to you for raising us from bed and sleep to enjoy the light of another day. Receive this...

More than 10000 pieces of broken mirrors

are stuck together for the installation.

Some bits are dull, some are luminous,

some from the crashed wardrobes of a big shot

while others from the remains of the dashed cars.

they reflect with different intensities

but create the L...

The dog and I took a walk this morning to our local Copenhagen bakery to pick up a couple loaves of their rye bread. It’s not a pretty walk. It’s a Los Angeles city street. Lots of concrete. Not a lot of trees. This bakery makes me happy, though, with its clean white facade and […]

You’ve probably heard the writing advice: show, don’t tell. It sounds easier than it is sometimes. I would like to just write, “I’m sad! I hurt! Love is so so so hard!” and have you get exactly how I feel.

Alas, it does not work that way. A skilled writer knows this. Thus, I introduce you to Barb...

My family spent this past weekend in Oita prefecture (which you’ve seen if you follow my Instagram.). The trip was partly to spend time with my husband’s cousins and family, and partly to track down my father-in-law’s birthplace in rural Japan.  It was a whirlwind of kids and busses and hotels an...

Many texts on the subject of success begin by offering a
definition of the term or by encouraging the reader to think about what success
might mean to the individual. There is nothing wrong with that, at all. It is
naturally a good idea to properly define a goal before beginning to work
towards achie...

Today, we are at The Turkey Project Defence Colony. This is yet another discovery by my partner. This cafe is not in the main market but near the Defence Colony flyover. The building in...

“You look upset,”
said Pedestrian.

“Well,” sighed
Puddle. “My nan just got scammed. 92 years old. They stole her
credit card details and everything.”

“Darn,” replied
Pedestrian. “Sounds bad!”

“It is,” sighed
Puddle. “But hey, for just £25 I’ll teach you how not to get
scammed.”

Hah, now that w...

Faith is wonderful, and doubt may not always be against it. Sometimes, it is the beginning of learning. New questions can be a good thing—the laying of foundation for faith.

When you hear something—an opinion, an argument, a gauntlet phrase—that makes you doubt what the Bible says, the best thing...

The eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones (GoT) has officially begun, and brands are using the opportunity for their own shot at the throne. Many brands are using GoT-themed promotions to capitalize on the hype for the last season, and GoT i...

My illustrator, Kimberly Ann Kau, and I had a blast recording this interview last week about our collaboration on #GodIsLight.  We covered a lot of ground, including discussing what it looks like to take on new projects/collaborations with God..even when your every-day is already packed to the br...

「介紹我一家最好的日本餐廳，在香港。」外國友人這麼問我。

從前，我一向抓抓腦袋，回答不出，最後嚅嚅地：「還是去日本吃吧。」

近來，真的有改變了，不去日本，也能吃到好的，像「佐瀨」、「田舍家」、「龍吟」等等，他們用的材料已比一般本土的店舖新鮮，日本通常一星期進貨二至三次，香港高級的每週六回，除了禮拜天市場不開。

和日本同樣等級的餐廳，已不是在香港開「分店」，而是把本店「移植」過來，從裝修、師傅到食材，都和日本的一模一樣，這才算吃得過。

另外一家沒有漢字招牌，叫「SUSHI YOSHITAKE」，原名寫起來是「吉武」。他們的總店一直是米芝蓮三星，香港的一間已有兩星。老闆兼大廚的吉武正博在東京和香港兩...
