Have a talk with God

I’ve been attending an Experiencing God course this summer – a course on how God is at work all around us and how He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him – very good to get a reminder once in a while! But that is not what I wanted to talk about… One [...]

Warm outside warm inside

The little nasty creatures attacking my body thought it would be a good idea doing it during our first (and hopefully not last) heatwave. Outside it’s 27 degrees Celsius – only 10.5 degrees below my own body temperature. Went to work today, where it’s cool and wonderful, but did not have the strength to go to [...]

God works in mysterious ways

So I have to admit that when I moved to Turku I was quite tired. Church tired that is. And not tired from going to church but from all the responsibility I had in my church. The last year in Helsinki I had been: coordinator for the Action festival, head-dishwasher for Women’s brunch, leader of [...]

Action and old friends

So this weekend it was time for the annual Action festival at my old church. And of course I went! Beautiful people and music by Hillsong Stockholm and Fila’s own band. Plus Andreas Forsberg with band, who was forcing everyone he saw to buy his new CD. And I even saw my cousin’s daughter Elin! Either [...]

My day, John 14:27

Today I’ve taken it easy. Yes, what’s the rush! I drowned some flies in ethanol and wondered if that would be a good way to die, with 100% EtOH in your lungs… Then I took some pictures of mildly distorted wings. I was trying to read the book Babes in Beijing at the same time, I got through [...]

What to talk about while checking flies

Conversation at work: I: So why do Greek Orthodox pray to saints? V: We don’t, we only pray to the holy trinity! I: So why do you have saints then?? V: An example: Saint Nicholas is the protector of sailors. I: Ah, so they are more like angels, protecting you from things, but if you are [...]

Everyday hero

I like any movie, but I love super-hero movies. Stories of people who can fly, stop time or throw balls of fire from their bare hands. But when you think about it – all Christians should be super heroes. We have the power to read peoples thoughts, to see into the future, to heal the sick or even [...]

My identity

Shinya came back to work today after a 3 week long vacation in Japan. I am so glad and he was happy too. He said: “I’ve confirmed. I’ve confirmed that I’m Japanese.” And I thought: Yes, how wonderful. To be able to feel that you belong somewhere, that is truly a beautiful sensation. To find your identity [...]
