An Assyrian Christmas
Monday, December 29th, 2008Christmas was spent in the Assyrian Church of the East, which was indeed a great blessing: not only to be with a wonderful number of friends, but also to hear and participate in the liturgy offered to the blessed Trinity in this ancient Church. In my ignorance, and perhaps jet-lagged state, I do not [...]
Back in Summer
Monday, December 29th, 2008Arrived back today. It is warm, not hot — but still a jar to the system.
I will bore you all soon. The entire trip was wondrous, and particularly wondrous was seeing the diversity and bounty of God’s Creation and catching up with friends — particularly one friend who I am greatly blessed to be [...]
A blessed Feast of the Nativity to all!
Thursday, December 25th, 2008May God bless you all with peace, joy and comfort at this most wonderful Feast of the Nativity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ [otherwise known as Christmas]. Some lines from a hymn on the Nativity by St Ephrem the Syrian to celebrate this joyous Feast.
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

What can I say?
Thursday, December 25th, 2008But what an adventure. Absolutely amazing. I now want to be a ranger or guide at Yellowstone — a superb place. As was the Grand Canyon. And as was in fact everything and everyone I met. Endless details to come once I return home [Monday 29] and sort out the [...]
US — Culture Shock
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Though I have been here [San Jose / California] a few times, five if I count correctly [I cannot believe it: thanks be to God I am finally seeing some other parts of this country this trip: but, to be honest, I like nothing better than staying with friends], there are some things that still [...]
More fun in San José
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Plenty more fun here in San José. If you want to be bored by far too many photos, click here: I’ll continue to add in more.
Friday a friend took me down to downtown and we looked at St Joseph’s Cathedral as well as the social ministry next door [which he volunteered in previously]. [...]
San José
Friday, December 5th, 2008I am here in San Jose — and having a most wondrous time. The friend I am staying with and another friend [also currently staying with him] picked me up from San Francisco airport. We were then dropped off at the Caltrain station while first friend went back to work. We went to San Francisco [...]
Haven’t got far yet…
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Merely through Customs. Waiting for my flight to Auckland to board and making the most of the free internet kiosks.
Byeeeeeeeeee!
Monday, December 1st, 2008In case you were not aware [I know I haven't said much ], I am off tomorrow to stay with a friend in San Jose, California, and to travel around a bit here and there.
I should be able to drop in occasionally to annoy you all with more inane ramblings and perhaps upload [...]
