No exercise today. I woke up at 5:30am to watch the sunrise, but unfortunately it was already up, so I’ll

Brazil, Day 13: A Little Assistance and a Little A
By Joshua Huang

This morning I ran four kilometers, but I tried to pick up the pace so I was running harder than I had on previous mornings. For breakfast I had tapioca (a tapioca wrap) stuffed with sun-dried meat and cheese, and for dessert I had a slice of papaya. I think that is one of my more »

Brazil, Day 12: Several Thoughts on Missions
By Joshua Huang

I woke up and almost considered skipping a second straight day of exercise. I did not want to get up, and I had an almost unnoticeable headache that lingered from the night before. But I finally got up and ran a kilometer before doing some hill runs, tackling the hill on the seminary’s road eight more »

Brazil, Day 11: Church, Day Two
By Joshua Huang

Slept in today and woke up refreshed and excited for Sunday, a day of worship and rest. No services at church today because we had them yesterday, so we are going to a different church tonight. But most churches only have Sunday School and no morning service because the evening service is when most people more »

Brazil, Day 10: Giving to Brasil
By Joshua Huang

When my alarm went off this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed. I wasn’t necessarily tired although I definitely could have slept longer. Rather, I just didn’t want to get out of my really comfortable bed and go running. But I took a break two days ago, so more »

Brazil, Day 9: Last Day of School
By Joshua Huang

Because I slept in with no exercise yesterday, I determined that I had to run today…and I did. My legs felt much better, so I ran five kilometers (three miles), and it feels like I’m starting to get back into the running shape I used to have. The sprinting isn’t there yet, but the endurance more »

Brazil, Day 8: From Portuguese to Ingl
By Joshua Huang

I woke up to run…and I didn’t run. My legs were so sore that I decided I should take the day off after breaking them back in the last couple days. So back to bed I went, and it felt good to sleep in for the first time all week. Acts 5:33-42 was the passage more »

Helping out the Body
By Joshua Huang

I found an old blog post that I intended to publish three months ago and for some reason it never happened. Anyway, it’s short and sweet and I hope it brings a smile to your face. March 10, 2013 Somehow I completely missed out on the news about Daylight Savings starting this weekend. But fortunately, more »

Brazil, Day 7: Immersed in Another Culture
By Joshua Huang

Went running again this morning at about 6:50am. This time I went up to the seminary and ran on the road that encircles it, supposedly measuring a full kilometer in circumference. So I ran three times around, not even a full two miles (1.8) and I was tired. But I think it was more than more »

Brazil, Day 6: Seminario Batista do Cariri
By Joshua Huang

I came to Brasil hoping that I would also find time to exercise and get in shape for my last season of futbol at Faith Baptist Bible College this fall. So I woke up this morning and ran for almost 20 minutes, hating every minute of it. Running is the worst. But I did it, more »
