Reflections of Refinement: of a regular update.

of a regular update.

Can it be called a regular update when I don't regularly update? Eh, who knows, and more importantly, who cares?

So anyhow. Yeah, I have one week of Orientation remaining. Or rather, one week of Japanese classes remaining. I think Orientation doesn't officially end until the end of the month. Anyway, this means that teaching is coming up fast. Wow, it means I have to grow up now and become a functioning adult. Weird.

And on other notes... KARAOKE ROCKS!!!! I got to spend about three hours last night hanging out and doing the Karaoke thang. It was great! I am such a fan.

And I now have a working digital camera and I am excited about that too. Maybe soon I can start posting pictures and stuff.

And final random thought of the day. I'm not sure anyone actually reads my blog, but yet, I still feel like I have a responsibility to update it. Strange.

Welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog! I am excited to know you have been here. Just for the record, I wanted to give a few explanations and disclaimers.

First, all photos are taken by me unless otherwise stated. I try to attach photos that someway correlate to my posts. Sometimes you might have to stretch your imagination a bit, but at least in my mind they all make sense. If you would like to use any of my photos, please ask for permission.

Second, I very much appreciate and am encouraged by your comments. I am very fortunate to have many encouraging comments on my blog. However, please be advised that I do not tolerate spam or rude comments. They will be deleted. Also, I do not link to or promote other blogs. Comments that are obviously only for the promotion of their own blog will also be deleted. I do not make money from this site, and do not intend to use adsense or any other form of revenue. I do not promote my own blog on other's blogs, and I would like the same respect and consideration.

Also concerning comments: I'm very grateful for all that I receive. It is encouraging to know that people are reading and thinking about the things I write about. I read every comment. Unfortunately, I don't often reply to comments. Contrary to my writing style, I am actually a bit shy and socially awkward. I'm more of a "lurker" type than a replier. I just wanted you to know that lack of response does not equal lack of appreciation.

I hope that you enjoy reading my blog. I understand that not everyone will empathize with or agree with what I say and how I say it. I do my best to be honest but respectful, and I appreciate the same respect and honesty.

Thank you for your time and thought.

I ask you to PRAY

Finally brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.

2 Thessalonians 3:1

Prayers for us and the Japanese people:
