Kysyminen ja kyseenalaistaminen: Mitä eroa niillä on?

Lau­rel: Mitä eroa sil­lä on, kun ky­syy ym­mär­tääk­seen tai ky­see­na­lais­taa epäil­len? Mi­ten se­lit­täi­sit eron?

Authentically Include Others

I so­me­ti­mes see a fel­low tra­ve­ler of the way sit­ting alo­ne at ser­vi­ces. I won­der what brought them there to sit alo­ne. I sel­dom find strength to go talk to them. Ima­gi­ne ar­ri­ving at ser­vi­ces and no one no­ti­ces you; no one spe­aks to you.

What does God say?

Many re­le­vant to­pics to­day are dis­cus­sed in smal­ler groups and lar­ger groups, such as church dis­cus­si­ons. When I have qu­es­ti­ons about what God’s Word te­ac­hes on a cer­tain to­pic, I ask a pa­rent or fa­mi­ly mem­ber. As a yo­ung per­son, I le­arn about what God’s Word says through ser­mons, pre­sen­ta­ti­ons, dis­cus­si­on and vi­si­ting with fa­mi­ly and friends.

What Bible verses or stories inspire contentment in your life?

Da­niel: The sto­ries of Da­niel and Da­vid over­co­ming ad­ver­si­ty com­fort me. They trus­ted in God. Psalm 23 al­so gi­ves me com­fort. God is gui­ding my life and path to­ward our he­a­ven­ly home.

Blog: Gratitude for the Opisto year

Blog: A future with one deadline

This fall I star­ted my fifth ye­ar in uni­ver­si­ty. My stu­dies have re­ac­hed a point where there is on­ly an un­comp­le­ted Mas­ter’s the­sis bet­ween me and gra­du­a­ti­on.

Blog: Joy of sunlight in frizzy hair

I pul­led up the last leeks and pars­nips when the soil was al­re­a­dy hard from sub­ze­ro tem­pe­ra­tu­res. I like the ex­ci­te­ment of gro­wing new and dif­fe­rent ve­ge­tab­le spe­cies and not kno­wing when exact­ly to har­vest them, or even kno­wing what I will find in my ve­ge­tab­le patch. I do not mind long and mild fal­ls like the one we have had. I can take my time won­de­ring if I should pull up the ve­ge­tab­les to­day or to­mor­row.
