Ascension 2011
or Hemelvart, how it’s bluntly called in this country, took place today. So Pascha is over. There’s again a period of confusion imposed on earthy confusions of different kinds…
Therefore I long for certainty and joy instead of experiencing those. I suspect there is a simple way out this state, but it’s perhaps to simple to find.
Let’s wait for Pentecost: the Lord will show me the ways.
Wedding in Leiden
(Posting back in time)
Frans Goldschalk, my phd student, and Denise have married today. What a perfect young couple they stroke! Having seen all these academics who do not marry before finding a “proper place” in social structure, I really admire their decision and wish them very best luck and Lord’s blessing in all the ways.
Me and my wife been to the service and marrige blessing in neat Herengrachtkerk in Leiden. Very good, detailed, everything was carefully explained. The church appreared a bit far from the station, and for the party we had to make that walk back so we did not stay long.
