10 October 2009
This post is part 16 of 17 from the series "Emails to Joel"Hey Joel,

There are [...]
Delegate and Empower
3 October 2009
This post is part 15 of 17 from the series "Emails to Joel"Dear Joel,

This post is part 13 of 17 from the series "Emails to Joel"Hey Buddy,
Apologies for the break between emails. I’ve been busy preparing for my enlistment. I’m trying to outwit my Basic Military Training period for the next 3 months. Haha. So to achieve that, I’ve been harvesting advice from friends and making the appropriate [...]

This post is part 4 of 17 from the series "Emails to Joel"Hello Joel,
How did your presentation go at school?

The Case for Early Marriage
11 August 2009
Not too long ago Christianity Today published a series of article regarding marriage.
The article is worth it’s weight in gold. It spans 7 pages long and is worthy for all who decide to have a go at it. For the time-poor, I have clipped off a handful of excerpts that I’ve found absolutely delightful and [...]
