In the presence of God down south

I have been in Australia for almost three weeks.

As I am here by myself, I feel a sense of longing for friends.  At the same time, I am reminded of the need for solitude.  Of which, I get both.
Staying hostels and going on different tours, I meet a lot of different people.  Guy from Belgium looking for work in Australia and studying Law.  A lady from Ireland coming to visit her brother and was on my tour at Fraser Island.  A German couple who is interested in knowing more about Internet Marketing. We exchanged contacts and told them if they ever come to Toronto, I will show them around (in return, if I go to Germany, they will show me around!).
Everyday, I do not have a big schedule.  Though this is a vacation and Australia have many things to see.  There are things I opt not to do.  Simply it is beyond my budget and simply I rather focus on just entertainment fun. 
This is how one of my day is like.  Two days ago I got up at Bondi Beach (Sydney) and headed to a place call Manly Beach.  I spent the morning read the Bible (re-reading Acts focusing on the role of the Holy Spirit).  Then headed over to the ferry.  The ferry took me to straight to the beach.  I saw a store that rented bike and took one for a ride.  They had a trail that led up to a point called North Head.  It faced the whole city of Sydney and the Pacific Ocean.  Beautiful. I was all alone up there and meditated upon Psalm 19 under the sun with the roaring sound of the ocean.  I went down to the beach for lunch then headed to visited a church and talked to a local there.  I ended up the night doing some more reading (Bible and other books). Praying and head to bed.
Not bad for a vacation..nothing glamour or glitzy..very refreshing and joyful!

Ministry Is Not a Marathon—Unless You Run It Right

The title is a handful. I often hear preachers compare ministry to running a marathon, not a 200-meter sprint. You have to look at your spiritual life for the long run. You have to be persistent, disciplined and persevere. As someone who ran a few marathons, I often don’t get

Thoughts of a 40 something

Being 40s is an interesting season. I am now seeing my girls growing up. I am seeing my parents growing old. And I also realize that I am growing older. The general belief is that younger is better. If you are 30, it is like you are 20. If you

Six months

This is a little celebration for Team Tam. We have been in Tanzania for six months. Truth be told, I never thought we would be able to stay here for this long. In my mind, there is always this lingering feeling that we must leave the country. Maybe they deny
