CI Taiwan

My niece via marriage is in Taiwan teaching and serving in a CI Institute. I am so very proud of her! She takes her own time, money and initiative to serve others. And she loves Taiwan--it is part of her heart and soul and one feels it in every word she writes.

Students her age--and a bit older--are my students in the Netherlands. I find in them the same drive, motivation and goal to make the world a better place; to transform the world by love. Their persuasion is Christian. Certainly nothing wrong in that! In a world filled with hatred, I find these young people beacons of light.

Her uncle and I wish her and her colleagues well & God's speed!

Happy New Year, 2009!

I doubt anyone is reading this anymore and I seem to write less and less. It's a time issue. But as it's 2009, I will try to write more often.

Woo-hoo! Great Ombama-rama on Tuesday, don't you think? What an amazing guy. The Beeb did a broadcast of his life story. It is amazing. It's true his life story is not the life story of the suffering "black male", at least externally. But I don't doubt he suffered because of his history. I'm reading his first book, plan on the second whilst out and about. He writes wonderfully well. What a joy, an American president who can put two sentences together.

It's late and I'm off to sleep. More news & views to follow.
