http://odayphilippines.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

O'Days In the Field. Serving Christ through International Christian Education at Faith Academy in the Philippines. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Why did the chicken. We were a few streets away from home. Just as we entered the shade of a couple of close-together houses, a chicken dashed out of a yard ahead of us and paused, clucking. ("Do you hear that, Kaitlyn? Or come peck my feet? A few yards further down, we came to the end of the shade of those particular houses. As Kaitlyn and I rolled on into th...

O'Days In the Field. Serving Christ through International Christian Education at Faith Academy in the Philippines. Sunday, April 10, 2011. Making changes as I go. Random bonus picture 1- A butiki in our sink. There is, however, a tricky temptation going on for me. This is a temptation that crops up for me almost any time I face the challenge to change, but it is especially alluring in times like these—at the end of the school year, 9 months into a year of transition, at the end. You show me a better way,...

O'Days In the Field: January 2013

http://odayphilippines.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

O'Days In the Field. Serving Christ through International Christian Education at Faith Academy in the Philippines. Monday, January 28, 2013. There are ways in which being a stay-at-home mom to an infant feels a lot like teaching, in terms of the way I think about my time—questions that I’m asking myself all the time that are very similar to the questions I faced regularly when teaching. Here are a few that I’ve noticed:. Which things do I NEED to get done today/tomorrow? To spend my time on? Thursday, Ja...

O'Days In the Field. Serving Christ through International Christian Education at Faith Academy in the Philippines. Saturday, February 12, 2011. A just-for-fun sunset picture from our trip to Corregidor. With my Outdoor Ed squad of 7th-graders. My life has changed drastically in the last six months. In fact, very few outer, obvious things are the same as they were one year ago! Will there still be evidence that I am stronger and healthier, or will the ‘spiritual weight’ come right back? Want to be tricked...

O'Days In the Field: October 2013

http://odayphilippines.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

O'Days In the Field. Serving Christ through International Christian Education at Faith Academy in the Philippines. Friday, October 18, 2013. Why am I here? Things that I could do with that time. And that doesn’t count the marginally good leisure activities. (Like fatty foods—good in small amounts only.). That self-evaluation, which meant stepping back from my life for an hour, pausing and seeing what I thought of it all. Those priorities, I need them to be rooted. These questions are not unique to me, no...

O'Days In the Field. Serving Christ through International Christian Education at Faith Academy in the Philippines. Sunday, July 28, 2013. This is a follow-up story to my April tropical moment. I came down to the kitchen this morning and was startled to discover THREE large-ish butiki lizards in my blender! That’s possible. I was tired and perhaps inattentive. At any rate, there they were. Seth and Laura ODay. We hauled our suitcases inside and got organized with the necessities for the night. Being h...

O'Days In the Field: Random tropical fruit confession

http://odayphilippines.blogspot.com/2013/08/random-tropical-fruit-confession.html

O'Days In the Field. Serving Christ through International Christian Education at Faith Academy in the Philippines. Saturday, August 17, 2013. Random tropical fruit confession. Recently, rambutan were in season here. (I think they're out of season again now. I only saw a few at the market today, and the ones I saw didn't look terribly fresh.) I was reminded a couple of weeks ago that I like them, so I bought a bunch last week. This is what rambutan look like when you buy them. Peeled rambutan, ready to eat.
