Saturday, April 16, 2011. I love knowing someones mind. to somehow get inside their head and figure out what they’re thinking- to be able to read their feeling and emotions. Especially the woman-kind. (but that’s a whole different blog! What about getting into God’s 'head'? I know we try! The greatest thing about God is. He isn’t an equation. He isn’t a section in a maths text book that I can just work out on a piece of paper and then understand! Thats why HE is God and we aren't! Yes God tells us a lot ...

Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Adventures of USA: Phase one. Hi Howzit. 'sup. ja. I have been in the US for 11 days. It has been a great 11 days. its weird to think not long ago, I was in Durban; sitting on bronze beach with good friends and swimming in the warm, salty Indian ocean. Now I am in Michigan. With a beautiful clean saltless ocean (okay fine, its a lake) that people claim has waves, none of which reached above my shins. I felt like I was in the ‘blue like jazz’ book or something. On my last day in G...

Wednesday, September 21, 2011. A letter to Home. The time has come. Yes, I've been living almost 4 months in the United States, and I have finally started feeling homesick. I was mostly in denial, thinking I’m just not a ‘homesick person’, but alas, the sensation has hit me lately and there isn’t much I can do about it. This so-called 'sickness' isn’t necessarily sadness. For me, its a thought process. But this missing rugby has made me realise the small things that I miss about home. Lastly, I'm pretty ...

Wednesday, August 7, 2013. My last Sunset in Denver, CO. As I write this, I am 38, 000 feet in the air flying back to my home city; Nashville, TN. My time in Denver has ended. This truly is a sad thought. The good news, however, is that the impact of is far from over. At the end of each week, I, as a CSM city host, ask groups “what are you going to take home from this experience? What one thing is going to be different when you go back to your city? The danger in going. Back to do Mission work. I did...

Monday, May 23, 2011. Africa, I will be back. I cannot believe that the day of my departure is really almost here. It feels like I was just saying ‘Im leaving next year’ then, ‘I’m leaving in 2 months’ and now ‘goodbye. I’m leaving on thursday’. The last few weeks have been crazy! I guess it starting to hit me. I am going. forever. or for now? I'm sure you saw my last post about the Watoto Choir. (pronounced. wa-toe-toe. not why-toe-toe, or wa-tooo-tooo! I know, right! I was honestly like a star stuttere...

Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Once all the hugs went around and the hello’s were exchanged, we settled down and headed for the beach. There really is no better thing to do on a Durban December day. Did I burn? Yes Was it worth it? A night of Pizza and cooldrink (pop/soda) made with real sugar and not high fructose corn syrup with a group of my greatest friends. what’s better? Drinking tea outside on a couch while starring at the view of the ocean in front of me. South Africa vs Sri Lanka Cricket match! On th...

Sunday, June 23, 2013. All of these things are wonderful, and I am so blessed to continue to have these experiences with CSM. However, when I am asked what the favorite part of my job is, none of these things seem to make the list. So what is the best part of the job for this City Host? Let me explain…. Being with CSM, I have been able to watch those walls of separation break down. I get to see the story being changed;. These are the moments that impact lives and bring reconciliation. These are the s...

Saturday, August 20, 2011. Adventures of USA: Phase two. Can you believe that I have been in the United States for almost 3 months already? No, neither can I. It has been a whirlwind. So much has happened in life in the past few months, I don’t even know where to start. I’ve relied a lot on God, and the people around me to get me through those tough times. A few weeks ago, I got a skype call that one of my close friends from South Africa was killed. I thought I was done. there was no way I could ...An in...

Monday, July 22, 2013. I would like to tell you a story about a friend I made here in Denver. For the sake of the story, I am going to call him Ralph. I first met Ralph at a Motel on the infamous Colfax Avenue. The next monday I went to volunteer at the Rescue Mission. Last thursday Ralph walked through the line to get breakfast as he always did. This time, however, he looked different. Ralph was wearing a suit! It is an incredible thing to see prayers answered. As far as I know, Ralph isn’t ev...Nashvil...
