So my little brother proposed to his girlfriend of 10+ years. It’s a bittersweet moment. Sweet because it’s my family and I’m happy for them. Bitter because that means I’m the last man standing. For those of you who don’t know, I have two younger brothers and one older sister. My older sister is married [...]
I’m not very good at keeping this blog up. Part of it is because I’ve recently been blogging for a community blog called Endangered Leadership. I’ve been pretty regular at that site.

For one of my classes I’ve been reading Calvin’s Institutes. I’m reading the chapters on predestination and it’s interesting on how Calvin started his discussion on predestination.

Everything from clean water to child slavery, extreme global hunger to local homelessness. It was hard leaving that class and not [...]
I’ve been so busy with school and ministry that it feels like I’m not really human. It sort of feels like I’ve just been a robot who goes about my daily routine. To be completely honest, I started to feel like I was in a Cymbalta commercial for awhile:
So in order to shake this depressing [...]
“Did you hear?!?! [Fill in the name of a celebrity] is a Christian!”
Whether it be Bono from U2, Vanness Wu from F4, MC Jin former Ruff Ryder, MC Hammer, or even George W. Bush; why does it seem that we so readily drop these names? I’ve done it too and I’ve justify it by saying [...]
Focus on the Family, an Evangelical Christian ministry, set up a website called, “Stand for Christmas.” On the website they rate retailers on how “Christmas Friendly” they are. Apparently what qualifies as, “Christmas Friendly” are stores that say “Merry Christmas” and that’s about it. If a store is not Christmas friendly, Focus on the Family [...]
