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 [...]

When things are just right

Sometimes life just makes sense.  There are times it doesn’t, but when it does, everything seems just right.
I used to say I thought I was born in the wrong place and the wrong century.  For one thing, I have an adventurer’s spirit.  I love to explore.  But it seems these days there are very few [...]

Anchorage

Welcome to Alaska! I have been in Anchorage now for a little over a week. I am getting settled in and starting to feel at least a little at home here. It has been a great first week. I started work at the church at the end of last week and [...]

Two Weeks Notice

Hey there faithful cheese readers.  Just wanted to jump back in and give you a little update on life.  I am leaving for Alaska in about 2 weeks, holy crap!  I know all five thousand of you that read this are dying to see me before I leave, so I will do my best to [...]

Big Wild Life

Anchorage, here I come! I accepted a position today directing student ministries at Trinity PC. I am super pumped. I’m somewhat nervous and terrified as well, but mostly just excited. I have been drawn to Alaska for pretty much my whole life and have been making real efforts to get there [...]
