At my church retreat this past weekend, I gave a testimony in front of the body. While I mostly spoke about my need for control (and a clear lack of control in my life), I could have talked about a lot of different ways God has worked in me. One on-going challenge for me is… Read More Wasting My Life Away, Looking for Some Anime, Ohhh Me…
What is fandom to you? This is the question Charles Dunbar, a friend of this site (I interviewed him once and he also gave us his aniblogger testimony), asked a number of friends and colleagues associated with anime. I was lucky enough to get an invitation to join in his Identity Project. Here’s how he… Read More My Identity: Guest Post on Study of Anime

The game was created by Iso and his rules are as follows: Introduction Each person is supposed to follow the rule of fives. You are… Read More The Blogger Interrogation Game Strikes Back!
