So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Friday, February 27, 2015. Germany vs. the USA - the Maternity Ward Edition. The main difference is the screaming. There's more of it in Germany. Let me explain. My first daughter. Was born back in the good ol' US of A, while the second. Was born here in Deutschland, so I've gotten a front row seat to the birthing philosophies and practices of both medical systems. Is better. Take, for instance, genetic...

Un Till: Notes on the Second - VII. Horrible, Horrible Thoughts

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Notes on the Second - VII. Horrible, Horrible Thoughts. Is ripped out of the chests of parents and communities, irreplaceable. In my own experience, baby's complete dependence and vulnerability make the horrible thoughts so pressing, because in many cases, I'm the one responsible. What if I slip and fall down the stairs while I'm holding her? With my daughter - all of these things...

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Friday, February 13, 2015. Notes on the Second - V. Chunk. Fat, but it's enough chunk for me to get a little queasy-cringy every time someone breaks out the photo album. Moving to Germany and regular exercise, among other thing, has kept me reasonably fit sense, and I want to keep it that way. This time around I'm determined to avoid the chunk. Effect on my waste line. Notes on the Second. Notes on the Seco...

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Monday, November 17, 2014. Intercultural Advice for Germans Who Coach U.S. National Soccer Teams. Coach Klinsmann, who (as you know) is from Germany, raised concerns about his marquee players moving from the traditional power houses in English Premier League and the Italian Serie to the U.S. Market.

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. See You Soon, Dr. Willard. This all changed when I read The Divine Conspiracy. Because of Jesus, God and his own Kingdom, where his will is done, where Love is the law, is something near, if only we repent and belief this Good News. That's how Dallas Willard presented the Kingdom of God, and that's how Dallas Willard presented our Lord's opus, the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on ...

Professor Walter Krämer, his German Language Society, and "the Majority of Germans" are "annoyed" with Denglisch. The superfluous use of English junk,"which they see as "contempt for their language." Some Denglisch is worse than others, though, according to the professor. We have a problem with words such as event, highlight, shooting star, outfit. App that clearly delineates the a...

If the new Under Armour suits are responsible for Team USA's disappointing speed skating run in Sochi. My problem with the suit (since you asked) is its lack of patriotic fervor. I mean, the Dutch are cleaning up. Look at the Dutch or the Russian home team - they're wearing their colors with pride at every event! Would it be again...

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Loving Language in a Time of Commerce (or Happy National Grammar Day). This is thrilling, of course. There's communication! People who once may have never understood each other understand each other now! Then, there's foreign languages. Over half of my MBA courses are in English (yippee! Meanwhile, should you catch me in grammatical error, your welcome to point it out. March 5, 201...
