Proclaiming the Risen Son in the Land of the Rising Sun: Boots on the Ground in Osaka!
http://brentkooi.blogspot.com/2014/09/boots-on-ground-in-osaka.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. Boots on the Ground in Osaka! But until then, this is an inexpensive place to live. I ventured out on my second day to find Mustard Seed Church, a three year old bilingual. Congregation. It was so good to worship in Japan, and to sing praises in Japanese, even if. It was just singing sounds that are mostly unintelligible to me right now! I will be involved. At Mustard Seed as much as possible until the GIC team is able to launch a church plant in a year or two. Thank you to ...

Proclaiming the Risen Son in the Land of the Rising Sun: Reflecting on my Travel in Western Japan
http://brentkooi.blogspot.com/2011/08/reflecting-on-my-travel-in-western.html
Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Reflecting on my Travel in Western Japan. Why Kyoto and Hiroshima? Although all my English students warned me that Kyoto and Hiroshima are just too hot to visit in the summer, I chose to visit these cities because I love history - I was a history major in college. Both cities have rich, long histories; perhaps Hiroshima's earlier history is now overshadowed by the atomic bomb, but this is arguably the most significant moment in their history. Final Comment on the A-Bomb. More ...

Simple method. profound effect. Thursday, January 1, 2015. New Year's Resolutions: Why they're not such a bad thing. I've long been apathetic towards New Years' Resolutions. Its not that I think they're bad, its just that I haven't ever been into making them. Formally, that is. You see, to some extent, A New Year's Resolution is like any other resolution: a reset. a new beginning. I nevertheless have jumped on the bandwagon and chosen to embrace our cultural practice of New Year's Resolutions. I instinct...

simple method. profound effect.: Slowly living the fast life
http://simplemethodprofoundeffect.blogspot.com/2015/07/slowly-living-fast-life.html
Simple method. profound effect. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Slowly living the fast life. Just ask my husband, and he'll quickly tell you that I am slow. At everything. I'm especially slow leaving the house once I've said "I'm ready". I meander over old mail. I ponder life's impossible questions. I stare out the window for far too long sometimes. I've kind-of always been an old lady, really. I was bound and determined to savor my wedding day. I remember scarfing down hot Stromboli in the kitchen in my wedding ...

http://simplemethodprofoundeffect.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Simple method. profound effect. Saturday, October 13, 2012. Life measured by the magnolia tree. There’s something about death that makes one distinctly aware of the experiences of life. The air feels more crisp, the coffee bolder, the giggles of the baby that much more soulful. This morning, my mumsy and pops dropped me off early at the airport, each embracing me twice before I could make it to the curb with my bags—it was an unexpected trip. And one that I was not ready to make. Because life carries on.

In normal Sam-fashion, I've got a few minutes here (14 to be exact) and I'm going to make the most of them! Roast is packed. Veggies are chopped. Banana Nut muffins are baking. Another busy week awaits. Not even Nemo can stop this rat-race! In other news. I finally did some spring cleaning. I realize we just got 2 feet of snow, but gee whiz kidz, it was a steamy 34F today! I even opened our windows! This upcomi...

Simple method. profound effect. Thursday, March 28, 2013. This is the first time to my memory that I've actually had Spring Break fall at the same time as Passover. I've not thought about it in the past, but this is really quite a blessing. To have. The time and the motivation to take. The time to be still. To be mindful of more. In the stretching of our Seder meal over this week, I can't help but be reminded of God's 'stretching' in our lives. The sun has just come out and its warm today (43F! Monday, M...
