Experiential Filters
Happy May! Christ is risen! Have you ever had a certain way of thinking or processing information and experiences, which you can by no means articulate, you only fuzzily know where it came from, and which haunts you for years in a number of circumstances? Perhaps that was too specific, but I’ve got to suppose [...]

Unpolished Thoughts
I seem to have acquired a way of being neither quite inside nor quite outside any culture I encounter. I was quite inside the culture at Holy Trinity, but they’re a notable exception. It’s just as perplexing to fail to be quite outside a culture as quite inside it, because if you’re quite outside it, [...]

Update
March hasn’t been a fantastic month. I’m hoping for better from April. It’s been cold, but is getting warmer. And a little dull. Strictly speaking, one might say that the dullness is my own fault: I could go out and do something. But for some reason I’ve also been very tired lately — and bored [...]

Stats
Search engines are odd things sometimes. I logged on this evening to read a comment by someone who actually comments (I really do appreciate that), and saw an odd blip in my stat-o-meter. More people had viewed my blog in an hour, than during the previous five or so days combined. I clicked for more [...]

Saint George’s Day (გიორგობა)
November 23rd is St George’s Day in Georgia. It’s apparently not the only feast to Saint George — there’s also May 26th, and other times, locally. The calendar says “ The majority of Georgian churches (in villages especially) were built in his honor and, as a result, every day there is a feast of the great-martyr George [...]

Cliches, part 3
I’d like to re-emphasize that I don’t mean to demean any experiences, epiphanies, or realizations that anyone has had which were actually important to them. The reason I’m writing these posts is mostly because I think that certain reactions and observations tended to be overemphasized in the Christian circles I know best, and I want [...]

Cliches, part 2
I said that I would write more on the topic of my first post, so this is me trying. I don’t know that I want to, actually, but neither do I know that it’s a good idea only to write when and what one wants. To sum up my last post: a Christian traveler trying [...]

Just Checking In
It’s my birthday; I’m 25 today. I’m not sure how I feel about that yet. I haven’t written lately not only because I’m fickle (though that’s also the case), but also because I’ve had a cold and other cold-like symptoms (like staying up all night thinking about how my sinuses hurt when I breath). Some of [...]
