Over the Edge of the World . . .: April 2010

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Monday, April 26, 2010. After a short interlude. I have slipped into an old habit of procrastination . . . and this includes everything. I am procrastinating studying Bangla, procrastinating writing emails, procrastinating writing on my blog. I thought I could shake it. Alas . . . This Friday, a couple who Melissa and I have come to know will be returning home to Alaska. They have been here since we have been here. They we...Somet...

Over the Edge of the World . . .: January 2010

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Oh, the adventures to be had . . . I am thankful I am traveling with someone who has traveled more than me. In certain situations- like border crossings- I wish I had more experience to lend wisdom in, but, alas, the only border crossings have been in the air, and compared to what we experienced yesterday, all my customs and immigration passings have been relatively painless up to this point. At two in ...

Over the Edge of the World . . .: November 2010

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. My dear cousin Amy and I were talking a couple of weeks ago. She said something profound, which is actually normal for her. We were talking about traveling- leaving and coming home. She said that everyone needs to leave home because unless we leave home, we can never miss home. Well, I am far from home, and I miss home. Saturday, November 27, 2010. Beth has brain malaria. She's been running high fev...

Over the Edge of the World . . .: Fear-inspiring

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010/10/fear-inspiring.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Tuesday, October 12, 2010. I am not usually a person who strikes fear in the hearts of people. I tend to be a nice person who smiles easily. Today, however, I struck fear in the hearts of many . . . Ugh I don't like being known only as the one who gives shots: the ladies in the Gach unit come up to me and act like they are going to give me a shot. Kind endearing. All the girls looked at me like they were betrayed. They made al...

Over the Edge of the World . . .: March 2010

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Monday, March 22, 2010. Talking about the weather. Well, I said earlier that I felt like the frog in the pot that's about to boil. Yes, well, my sentiments are still the same, only, it is now even more evident that I am the frog in the pot, which makes me even more nervous about the pot boiling. Which means "did it hail? Yes, hail is called sheila. I feel so special. There is a huge praise with this. I have heard from our Brit...

Over the Edge of the World . . .: May 2010

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. I never thought I would be writing on this subject . . . And as a disclaimer, I do not claim to be an expert nor do I claim to know much at all. I am just sharing what I have learned, what I am learning. And then I think, seriously, Monir, I see the life you are living—the lavishness of it. Surely you could pay them more. Because we the consumers are demanding lower prices. This subject has been written ab...

Over the Edge of the World . . .: September 2010

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. I'll take it as a God-thing. Every Monday and Wednesday I go to Sari Bari in the south of Kolkata, which means I have to take the metro. After my first day back to Kolkata in June, I always leave at 8:45 so I don't have to fight the crowds at the height of morning rush hour. This is not possible . . . Where did it go? There will be plenty of other days where I will have. God really is really great.

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Where did it go? Oh, my brain is tired. I am in two classes for language: the first in the day is a phonetics class and the second one in the day is a script class. The phonetics class I am doing semi-decently in, but I think that’s because I had a good start from two years ago. Where did it go? I am thinking that my brain is wired to learn in English script (because that’s all I’ve ever l...Now, mind...

Over the Edge of the World . . .: I want to see

http://snyoder.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-want-to-see.html

Over the Edge of the World . . . I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise. Sunday, February 13, 2011. I want to see. For our time of staff prayer on Friday morning, we read Psalm 37: 1-24. It’s a beautiful Psalm of reassurance that God will act on behalf of his people, of those who are oppressed and downtrodden, and that God will not allow the wicked to prosper. Some translations tell the hearer, “Do not worry,” and other translations say, “Do not fret.” The Lord. Most people who’ve sat in church l...
