I’ll Be Write Back

In the spring of 1995, I took the writing portion of the now defunct TAAS (Texas Assessment of Academic Skills) test.  I was a nerdy 4th grader who loved almost everything about school.  Except writing.  I hated writing.  Couldn’t stand it.  But my teacher told me that I wrote well.  She told me I should [...]

Skis!

It’s official.  I am a northerner now.  I bought my first set of skis today!  After last night’s lock-in, I went over to West High School for the annual Anchorage Ski Swap.  It was awesome!  Since I know pretty much nothing about skis, I had one of the youth meet me there and help me [...]

What is it?!!

I have been pondering doing something new that will make some people question my sanity.  Which for me I guess is nothing new.  I recently decided to go through with it.
“With what?” 
 
You’ll see soon…
Want a hint?  ”Just think outside the box” – does that ring a bell?

Had a bad day?

We are studying Job at Trinity and in our home groups. That dude had a reeeeal bad day. It made me think of this.

 
The saddest part by far is the melted blender.  Brutal.
So how do you handle the hard times? Maybe we should all just laugh hysterically?!

Time Difference: time for something different?

I have no idea what that title means.  I was just thinking about the time difference here in Alaska and tried for some word play.  I don’t think it worked.  But then again, word play never works, cause play and work are opposites (I could use your philosophical explanation of work vs. play here, Justin). [...]

back, fools

So I once read somewhere a quote that someone had found from a link to a blog about an article about a book, which said you should never explain or apologize for not blogging lately, cause nobody really cares, and if they do they are annoyed that you wrote that.  Or something like that…  So [...]

Resurrection Bay, No Way, What a Day!

Today I went Halibut fishing outside of Seward, AK. We had to leave Anchorage at 4:15 am. Ouch. We hopped on the boat in Seward around 7:30 under cold, cloudy skies, and started heading out to sea. After taking a few pictures of some pretty sweet mountains and sea lions, I [...]

I love these people

I have always been a people person. I enjoy life the most in the presence of others. And it seems I am usually extremely blessed and get to spend a lot of time with awesome people. It is no different here. I have really enjoyed my time with all the youth [...]

I love this church

Man, Trinity PC is awesome!  (the website doesn’t do it justice.  at all.)  I am loving my time with the staff – it is a really enjoyable group to work and serve with.  Also, the youth group is freakin sweet!  A bunch of really great youth who I have had a lot of fun with [...]

I love this city!

Anchorage is amazing! The people I have met here so far are awesome. There is so much to do in and around the city. The scenery is beautiful. 11 pm sunsets are incredible. Biking to and from work down and up a mountain is exhausting yet exhilarating. Hiking up [...]
