not a testimony..

Who knew the hardest question to answer the children I have been teaching at St. Paul High School would not be about God, about election, about Creation vs Evolution, or anything about theology. Rather, it would be the simplest of words joined together to create the most heartbreaking question: "Teacher Eddie, why do you have to leave us?" and "When am I going to see you again?"


My answer: A sincere and genuine hug while repeating to myself, "Never forget these kids." 


I am torn between two worlds.

"last"ing thoughts

As I come to the end of this chapter of my life, the next chapter seems promising. 


Final thoughts? Final feelings? It feels a bit surreal - as if I was leaving home to go do mission work at home. Ironic? Confusing? 


Let me digest it all and the next entry will be certainly my testimony. Thanks for reading all my posts and constantly supporting me through your thoughts and prayers. May God bless you immensely.

A Thought:

Crack open my brain and you’ll find this intermingled with all my other thoughts.

No elderly man should have to bow down before a much younger boy. Where is the respect for elders? Where is the establishment of status? With age comes due respect, in a sense – not to completely negate humility or for that matter, idiots also.  But why is it that to some, a much younger boy (twenty-four is still considered young), would be exalted beyond such status? This is quite the case in many impoverished districts, which sadly enough is all too common here in India.
