Life - Faith - One Bridge
Work has been beyond busy and I am still getting used to my new life in Los Angeles (and in not living in Asia). Also, there have been several people close to me struggling in profound ways, so I have been carrying their burdens along with them.
The accumulation of all of this “stuff” had left me tired, haggard, emotionally depleted, and a bit discouraged.
I brought all of this to a local coffee house this morning. I opened the Bible, read [Read more…]
This time last year, I had just completed my 12th year of living in Asia, but my passion for the country and people had persisted for over 20 years.
This time 18 months ago, I was content and even excited about living in Asia for the remainder of my professional career. My life was in Asia. My expertise and passion had been tied up in this wonderful section of the world I had already called home for most of my professional life. I had friends who felt more like family. My job was my passion. I loved being a part of a land and a people who were changing as a society in front of my very eyes.

This particular event was to celebrate the retirement of our favorite former coach, Coach Christopher Beal. Coach Beal is in the pic standing next to me.

In the midst of my time with family, rest, and taking care of life in America, I have pulled back from writing on my blog for this season. However, I have been able to contribute articles to a few other websites on topics I am passion about AND I was even honored to be the guest on a Denver based talk radio show. Strange, I know.
Through this blog I write, I have come across many others who are doing other sites similar to this one. One such lady is Erin Szczerba who writes on this excellent blog. Erin asked me to consider doing a Q&A for her blog. What I didn’t know was that it was ACTUALLY a live broadcast radio show based in Denver, CO and I was the special guest “expert” on issues of singleness.
So, with very little understanding of the scale and scope of the project, I agreed. Honestly, as I think about some of my answers I gave on these two shows, I probably disagree with a few. Oh well.
In the midst of my writing silence on this site (johngunter.com), I thought I would share this radio interview. Here are three of the clips from this time: [Read more…]
