That’s right… We are schedule in! By God’s grace, we were able to get the historic Michigan Theater for our Easter Celebration. Out of the myriad of facilities that we have occupied on campus over the last 10 years, this is going to be historic and special. We are going to start a new series […]

It is official. The University of Michigan Men’s Basketball program will have former West Virginia coach John Beilein as their head coach. You can read about it here. In the article, a person made a post. He said, “This is sad that a University has to pay this amount of money to a coach, the […]

The boys were disappointed that they could not see the NCAA Finals since it was so late in the evening. Even Christina could not last until the end. Therefore, I was celebrating my victory in the 2007 NCAA tournament bracket all by myself. There is something about celebrating victories together with other people that makes […]

Can an airline cancel a flight 20 minutes before boarding? Yes! We had to find out the hard way. This Sunday we called in to make sure that the flight to Chicago was on time. As soon as we got to the gate we found out that the flight was cancelled. We did everything to […]

The family and I went to a nearby park. As the kids were playing on the playground equipment, Christina wanted to play an old game that she use to play when she was younger in the Chicago neighorhoods. Objective of the game was to stand sideways facing each other (kind of like a fencing duel) […]

Yesterday in HMCC of Chicago we had Pastor Paul Liu and his family join us for our Sunday Celebration. Since many of the people in Chicago do not know Pastor Paul and his ministry in Indonesia, we had him share an update. Then a handful of us went out to eat and just share in […]

I went to see the movie, “300” on IMAX with some of the men in our leadership team. It was pretty inspiring. The movie was a combination of Braveheart and Gladiator all put in one. Classic ingredients to get a guy pumped up: Heroes… fighting for something worth dying for… loyalty… camaraderie… a traitor… sacrifice… […]

I love Wednesdays. At Espresso Royale Café, they have $2 lattes (plus tax it is $2.12) – any size only on Wednesdays. They also have a frequent buyer card where if you buy any drink, you get a punch card. Then after 10 punches you get one free drink – yup, any free drink – […]

Yesterday was the first Sunday in a long time since I was able to just spend time with the family after Sunday Celebrations here in Ann Arbor. Since the Northwestern students have Spring Break and the fact that I needed a personal break, it was good for me to stay home. In a weird and […]

Some are arguing that everything about Church – from the songs to the activities – are more suited for women. They also contribute the movement of […]

      I realized that when it comes to participating in people’s freedom, Satan will attack from all fronts. Satan can even use people who are closest to you to discourage you or distract you. This is why we have to have God’s perspective on things. It is too easy to turn to our […]
