Monday Musings – Living with Conflict
It was a Facebook post from a friend of mine that got me thinking about this topic. I was going to make a comment but thought that instead of doing that, I’m dedicating this blog post to him.

Meditations on 2013: A year in review
Around this time last year, I was busy preparing for my Ph.D. application. I had just finished my Greek exegesis course and was busily doing research and writing for my writing sample.

Day 5 – The Lenten Journey of Sid
Today, I got to hang out with a friend I haven’t seen in awhile. He now lives in Sudbury so we don’t really get to see each other very often. However, since he was visiting Ottawa for the weekend, we had the opportunity to hang out. He told me that he was going to take Continue reading

Day 3 – The Lenten Journey of Sid
Today, I had the chance to celebrate one of my friends becoming a partner at his law firm. It was a great time to reconnect with old friends as we haven’t seen each other for a very long time. It’s great to see old friends in new roles as mothers and fathers. It still takes Continue reading
