Damali's Bio

VISIT SPORTS AND STEM: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/286352-physics-metaphysics-or-tennis-or-random

This profile photo marks a good day when my students were excited about mathematics, STEM and writing.

I assigned antiMatter's beautiful article to several students so that they can see how to blend a higher level of knowing in discussions about sports or tennis, in particular. I look forward to getting their feedback.

This photo marks a day I listened to the voice of an old friend, as he recited Psalm 1. He has overcome many challenges in his life. He is a great man, with a great testimony of deliverance. Hearing him say Psalm 1 is, to me, an indication of his transformed character. May he continue his upward journey!

I put my heart on paper on this one. Please read and if you have time, give me a little feedback.

1 Peter 2:9 connects with my article on "Insights, Revelation and Illumination." The picture of the gentleman with the sunlight in it was taken on Nov. 3, the article was written on Nov.4, and Sunday, Nov.8, I heard a powerful sermon from 1 Peter 2:9 which confirms some things for me. It is an awesome journey!

"But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" 1 Peter 2:9
