Punctuality for the Christian

Hey Everyone!

So I just wanted to post this link for anyone to look at if their interested. It's an article written by an African pastor on why Christians need to be punctual. I found it very enjoyable to read, and I hope I learned some principals as well :) So for all who dare...

Family Photo Shoot

We got together with a friend at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden to take these pictures. Enjoy!

Sam's Birthday

For my 17th birthday we got together at a park to play some laser tag. We had a great time! My mom planned it as a surprise.

 I take some long range shots with a laser tag rifle, which is surprisingly accurate.






 The little guns on the other hand... not so accurate.

Safely in North Carolina

To all my friends and family,

Howdy! This is just a short notice to let everyone know that I am now officially an intern with the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches. I arrived in Raleigh, North Carolina on April 29th, and I have really enjoyed my first week. It has been very busy and I'm not used to working out every morning :) I had to run two miles on Friday. But I'm glad for the discipline as well as the other great experiences so far and I look forward to seeing what else I'll learn! Hopefully, as time allows, I will be able to post some more updates! And with that, I'll end my first blog...

God bless!
