I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been doing some web design on and off on the side this last year. It has been exciting to work on a variety of small projects and build up a portfolio. I’m start to wrap up another project, so I thought I’d mention it here and share a bit about [...]

Last night I stumbled through the door at about 12:15 am. Sweaty, hot, and tired I made my way to bed, found the welcoming sheets and finally laid down. It was a long day. We had the first INN of the year last night.
First Presbyterian Church (FPC) was packed with hundreds of excited students. [...]

Well, it’s been a crazy busy week and I haven’t really been able to spend much time reflecting on all that’s going on.

I think I found my people. This website is great. Theology/Technology. It’s a bunch of web designin’ Christians. And they’re good at what they do.

Well, I feel like I’ve got postmodernism down now. That wasn’t too tough. Next philosophical movement, please.
I finally finished Stanley Grenz’s Primer on Postmodernism and while I’m no where near understanding even 1/2 of what he said, or what the philosophers and writers he covers in this book meant, I feel like I have a [...]

These past couple of weekends we’ve been watching a lot of TV. I’ll admit it. No excuses. I hope if you’re looking for more meaningful posts, you will skip what I’m writing and read about Sean.

My team and I split up today to visit several villages, my main task was to visit two clinics to observe the treatment facilities as well as to discuss our health strategy within these villages…it has been a difficult day…
