REFLECTIVE NOTES DURING A PARADOXICAL DAY OF MARRIAGE- AND LIFE-CELEBRATION
This morning, Joji and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary. We did this in the midst of sadness because her mother passed away three days ago. We helped in leading the funeral services. What a paradoxical day!

BEING JESUS’ WITNESSES IN THE CONTEXT OF HISTORICAL INJUSTICES — PART 3 OF 3
Justice-Based PeaceBuilding Joji and I are constantly faced with enormous instances of social injustices.

LOOKING AT REALITY FROM THE ‘RESURRECTION PERSPECTIVE’
