Quick Re-Cap
It's Saturday evening at about 6:35 PM. I haven't left my apartment all day. And it's been great. I did some much-needed house-cleaning, some reading, watched some Lost, and generally just relaxed. I may do some drawing tonight, too. A good day of rest. It's much...
Another Random Re-Cap
Other than my latest Newsletter, I've been pretty quiet on here since coming back from my August Adventures. So I thought I'd take a few minutes and tell you what's going on and what's on my mind. So here, in point form, it is: 1. I don't know if it's my connection,...
Interview
A couple of months (or so) ago, I was interviewed, via email for GP's newsletter/magazine GP Worldview. I thought I'd share it here on the blog for those of you who haven't read it. It was edited for space in the mag, so I'll include some of the stuff that was cut...
August Prayer Letter and Website News
Below is a copy of my latest prayer letter, as sent by email to those on the list. As you'll see, August is going to be a full but fun month -- I'll hardly be home at all actually. Because of this I'll be offline and not posting anything new to the blog -- BUT I have...
Thoughts From Phil on Thankfulness and Contentment

Random Re-Cap
Since I wasn’t around on Friday, and didn’t get anything up on Monday, here’s a re-cap of recent goings-on in my life, along with random thoughts running through my head tonight... 1. Had a great time in Tokyo, hanging out with Zach before and after the meeting I went...
On Culture Shock, Part 3
This is the third in a 3-part series. If you haven't read them yet, you may want to check out Part One and Part Two first. Again, if you've experienced -- or are experiencing -- culture shock yourself, feel free to leave a comment with your two cents. Here are some...
On Culture Shock, Part 2
This is the second in a three-part series of writings that are adapted from stuff I did for the internship program I'm in. Click HERE for part one, where I give an overview of culture shock, at least as I define it....
Hmm… Weekly Re-Cap?
I almost forgot to do this this week. Not sure it would be much of a loss. Most weeks I spend a lot of time studying, and these days even more. So... it's hard to think of stuff to write. This coming Monday's another fairly big test. Please pray... In other news, I'm...
