Mae Govannen...: Of Bibliophiles and Bookworms
http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2009/05/of-bibliophiles-and-bookworms.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. Of Bibliophiles and Bookworms. Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high. Take a look, it's in a book. I can go anywhere! Friends to know and ways to grow. I can be anything! Take a look, it's in a book. Those are the lyrics from the theme song of " Reading Rainbow. Became one of my favorite ways to absorb and learn English. I remember going to a book fair at Jakarta Convention Center when I was in elementary school. Just a kid...

Mae Govannen...: Where are they going?
http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2011/04/where-are-they-going.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. Where are they going? I was checking out the video below when my 4-year-old son got curious and climbed on my lap to watch it with me. Go ahead, watch the video first, and it's worth viewing. We both were transfixed by this breathtakingly beautiful video of time-lapsed sky. Over the frozen plains of South Dakota. I was explaining to my son, "Look at those stars as they move across the sky! Where are the stars going? Hi ci Tessa,.

Mae Govannen...: Hi, there!
http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2009/11/hi-there.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. In case you're wondering why it's been over four months since my last post on this blog, part of the answer is that I've been 'micro' blogging. Or whatever term you want to call it) on Twitter. I've also written several posts over this time period on my food. So if you've been following me on Twitter or Facebook, you know that I've been alive and well ( and. Writing) . and like the rest of the world, my life did. Follow me on Twitter.

http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2009/04/for-thrill-of-soaring.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. For the thrill of soaring. When I'm asked if there's one song that could serve as my life's 'song' (or at least the one that defines a season in my life), my answer would be " For Such a Time as This. It's been ten years since I first listened to this tune out of Crystal Lewis' "Gold". But life (a fulfilling one) doesn't always work that way, and running toward the vision and destiny God has put in my heart means I have to put my fait...

http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2009/04/love-so-amazing-so-divine.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. Love so Amazing, so Divine. I love contemporary Christian worship songs. I listen to them, I sing along with them at church and at home, I 'make music' with them and I used them when I was leading worship. But on a few occasions, only hymns that have stood the test of time could properly express the depth and significance of a particular facet of God's glory. Although personally I prefer the more poignant version sung by Selah. And it...

Mae Govannen...: Our Wedding Tale
http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-wedding-tale.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. We recently celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary [post originally written in 2010]. Exactly on our fifth one, my husband and I and our two little boys boarded the flight that would take us from southern California to our new life in Jakarta. Now every time I go to one of these enormous (I'm mining the thesaurus for synonyms for 'huge', can you tell? That we had our wedding in the United States! Or to borrow another term: just by...

http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2008/01/long-trip-home.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. The long trip home. We did it. We survived the 22-hours flight from Los Angeles to Jakarta with two sniffling, coughing young children on their first ever plane trip. I chose the word ‘survived’ specifically, because that’s how we felt. I realize we’re not unique in this experience, countless other parents have traveled by air with their toddlers and babies, but it’s something I definitely do. Want to repeat anytime soon. After a shor...

http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2009/06/thank-you-michael-for-singing-me.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. Thank you, Michael, for singing me through. Dick Clark once said that 'music is the soundtrack of our life'. Then if I rewind the clock back to the 1980s, the video montage of me as a chubby, nerdy (some things never change) adolescent girl will be accompanied mostly by songs performed by one artist alone: Michael Jackson. I was probably in 5. Grade when I first saw Michael in his Beat It. Video (watched it on Betamax. So I scoured mu...

Mae Govannen...: Let's clean up our act (literally)
http://tmohede.blogspot.com/2009/03/lets-clean-up-our-act-literally.html
What interests me, intrigues me, makes me smile,. And makes me wonder. Let's clean up our act (literally). When I first arrived in Jakarta over a year ago, one of the things that shocked me most was how. The city was. Garbage was strewn along the streets and it was clogging the rivers, canals and gutters. It was an immediate, inescapable visual assault . not to mention the health hazards and a major contributing factor to flooding! Casually threw the plastic wrapper of her snack down on the floor. Just f...
