Last week my Uncle Fred passed away just one day shy of his 50th wedding anniversary. Just before that one of my friends Auntie Kay-Kay succumbed to cancer after a 3-year battle. And not long after that a friend of a friend that I grew up with passed away leaving 3 young girls behind. I […]

There are 2 major InterVarsity Conferences -Urbana & Atlanta- which happen to fall between Christmas and New Years Day every 2 out of 3 years. For this reason, I have to work and only get to celebrate my December 30th birthday once every 3 years. Though Atlanta is happening as you read, I, Grace Biskie […]

I meant to do this post on Christmas. I’m a loser, forgive me. Coming into Christmas this year has been different. I haven’t been involved in the rat race like usual to secure year end funding (a major part of my job) since I am on Sabbatical. Also, I’ve had a few days to rest […]

Tonight, my hubby & I celebrated Christmas Eve by going to his home Church service with his parents. Every year they turn off all the lights and everyone lights a candle. I leaned […]

"Up From Slavery" -Book Review
December 21, 2008 By 2 Comments
One of the best decisions I made this semester was to read this book, though it wasn’t a required reading I found myself more & more intrigued by Booker T. Washington. It’s a quick read taking me only three short sessions and it is a fabulous book. I love his perspectives, his courage, his wisdom, […]

From last Saturday until yesterday I wrote 5 papers totaling 45 pages & took 3 final exams including one of which was Ancient New Testament Greek. Let me tell you, there is a reason why there is a popular saying “it’s all Greek to me.” My splendiferous husband was kind enough to allow me to […]
