In these years we’ve had five
I’ve never felt so much alive.
Never felt so in love
we’ve been put together by God above.
Your smile so sweet
it makes me feel complete,
your laugh so genuine at my jokes
even when they are poorly spoke.
Our time together I treasure dear,
my love language of time spent near.
My words I speak to fill [...]

It’s Saturday, and I woke up at 5:55AM, just five minutes before my two alarm clocks would normally start chiming on my makeshift nightstand during the work week.   I actually laughed in bed, because I knew I didn’t have to get up.  I tried to reposition the covers, and even switched the blankets between the [...]

The previous year in 2009 was absolutely wonderful for me, and the new year already proves promising.
I hesitated in writing this for some time, because I didn’t think I had anything worth saying on my blog, so I kept my mouth and pen closed; I thought that my words had to be this deep, profound [...]

Last year and a month ago, I posted a quote from a Modernist architect, Walter Gropius, on the thoughts aboug getting a job.  I accepted a position for summer employment, and right now those words seem to ring true to me again.  I have put into bold an added emphasis:

“Actions and Words” - 24 March, 2009
To give up your life
for a cause you believe
is too easy for me;
To live your life
for a cause you believe
forces you to weave
actions and words,
aligning two to be one.
When I was younger,
It was enough for me
to know God in my
head, not my [...]

Over the summer, I saw a tiny clip of the movie, “The Bucket List” in a bible study, where we talked about attitude and outlook on life having a great impact on how you see the world.  I later rented it to see the full film, my interest sparked.  I would recommend watching it to [...]

Every Monday evening this summer I head out to a public park where I play volleyball with a group of college students and recent college graduates for pickup games.
Last night, the park was also being occupied by a local church, Phos Hilaron, for a summer vacation bible school (VBS). Small tent gazebos were set [...]

When studying the Bible, it’s best to have an understanding of both the Old Testament and New Testament, but having a background in knowing Jewish culture. Always remember, “Context is King.” I finished reading the Gospel of Mark a few weeks, which is one of my favorite NT books, and am now studying [...]

 
I got to hang out with Jeremy’s brother, Andrew, on Sunday evening, and we made five homemade from scratch pizzas together. It’s so amazing to me how eating food together with a group of people breaks down social barriers, makes people relax, and opens the door for conversation. [...]

I think the internet created a different type of social communicating that did not exist twenty years ago. With the invention of webpages, chatting, blogs, forums, and online video games - I feel like there has been a loss of face to face verbal connection. I’m connected to you, my reader, right now - even [...]
