Proud Swedish-speaking Finn. Missionary, previously stationed in South Africa, now in Athens. Loves meeting people heart-to-heart, fascinated by language, culture and identity, interested in a healthy lifestyle and gladly digs in flowerbeds when given the chance. Doctor in Theology/Jewish Studies. Feels the joy of creation together with my Canon 7D.

The driving force.

He had compassion on them.The beginning of this year was the heaviest time period I have ever been through. (Enough time has past now to talk about it.) It wasn't like I was suicidal, but I would end...

Eternal life. Heaven.

Eternal life. Heaven.

It happens more often than not that I go to a normal church and feel totally out of place. Like I belong to a completely different religion. (I probably shouldn't be saying this, taken that I'm an of...
