I wrote this today while traveling from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, to Singapore. Now it is only about seven and a half hours until my flight.

Trees of the tropic, houses of Asian architecture, and hills of green pass by my second-story bus window on the way from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, to Singapore. I’m settled in with [...]
Not Like (but maybe a little like) the Truman Show

In The Truman Show, Jim Carrey gives one of his best performances. His character, Truman Burbank, discovers that his whole life is a big reality TV show. My favorite part of the movie is when he runs into the edge of his world. Who knew the sky could be so hard?
My experience in Malaysia is [...]

Tamara and I stayed awake until about 12:00 Thursday night while I packed, and we woke up early Friday morning to drive to the airport about an hour and a half before my flight.
After eating breakfast together, Tamara and I forced ourselves to part so that I could fly to Singapore and she could drive [...]
CSD 5: Missing Flights
Posted in Meditation, Spiritual Disciplines, Travel, tagged Christian meditation, Christian spiritual disciplines, Christian spirituality on September 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever missed a flight? What did you do? God has blessed me with many journeys via airplanes, trains, boats, and taxis; and I have had my fair share of waiting in airports and train stations.
Last week, I flew to Abilene, Texas, for the annual lectureship at my alma mater, Abilene Christian University. The event [...]
