Elliot’s 8th B-Day

We, as a family celebrated Elliot’s birthday yesterday. We continued in our tradition of allowing the birthday person to pick the restaurant that they wanted to go to in order to celebrate their special day. Guess what Elliot picked? Famous Dave’s ribs! I guess my kids have already acquired the taste for “healthy” foods 🙂 […]

Reconnecting with an Old Friendship

Even though this past weekend was busy with so much going on, we had July Acosta, an old family friend from Mexico visit us for a day. As we were talking, we realized that our families have known each other for almost 11 years. I was reminiscing about the joys that we shared together throughout […]

Taking Up the Challenge

        As we start off the new term with the Spring schedule, it is going to be moving full steam ahead. I am pumped to start this new series on Sunday. Usually the Spring and Summer terms are a bit slower, but with so many things that are on the horizon, we […]

TEAM Community Summit 2008 Update

I just came back from the leadership summit. It was a great 2.5 days of being in God’s Presence. We spent good quality time preparing and praying for the new season of ministry coming up. The part that blessed me the most was having the Chicago guys come and join us for the summit. Also […]

TEAM Community Summit 2008

Today, the leaders of our churches will be gathering together to train and pray for the new season of ministry. I am excited about this year’s leadership summit. There is a sense of newness. We are bringing on one of the largest class of people who will be serving in our church as small group […]

My Long Awaited Doctor’s Appointment

In the last 4-5 months Christina has been trying to get me to see a doctor for a health check up. I don’t know what it is about men and doctor’s appointments, but it is like mixing oil and water together. It was quite an experience trying to describe my lifestyle to the doctor. I […]

Staff Gathering for the Kim Family

Today, the staff, their families and our family got together after Sunday Celebration to bless Pastor Ben and Susan, as they are getting ready to make their transition to Austin, TX. It was a good time to just relax and hang out. We had a late lunch (or early dinner). Then we went around to […]

The Diag Transformed

We went out for a dinner break from our Board Meeting. After dinner we ended up taking a walk towards the Diag where they are going to have the commencement ceremony. What a fiasco with not being able to have it at the football stadium. It was quite a sight. They transformed the center of […]

Pangea Day

There are some things in this world that universally speaks to the human heart. Music and film have a way of touching the mind, heart and emotions, regardless of what ethnicity or cultural background a person is from. I was able to witness this when I went on a mission trip to Africa during my […]

Awareness Test

It is amazing how we can get so focused on something that we lose sight of the bigger picture. But more than that, it is easy to lose sight of the important things. There have been many times when I have been so focused on something regarding the church or ministry that I forget things […]

Sex Ed

Tonight Christina and I went to Josiah’s school’s sex education program for the 5th graders. Yes… Josiah went with us. This is one thing good about sending kids to a Christian school at the early and formative years for a child – they are able to address big topics with a Christian worldview. They had […]

Running with Christina

This morning was a beautiful day to run outside. After all the snow storms and cold weather, it was nice that the weather was getting warmer. As some of you know, Christina loves running. She has mentioned that it is her way of “getting away” and being in her own sanctuary. For me, I am […]

American Idol and “Shout to the Lord”?

Did you hear? This week in American Idol at the closing of the program, the top 8 finalists all sang, “Shout to the Lord.” This is huge! Even though they took out the word, “Jesus” in the beginning (replaced it with “shepherd”), it really was shocking to hear that they sang a worship song on […]

I am Dethroned

The results are in for this year’s NCAA Tourney pool that our family did together. The new reigning champion is Christina! The boys and Karissa was out of the running awhile back but Christina and I were running pretty neck and neck last week. Now she gets to choose a restaurant of her liking as […]
