“Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good.”  - John Piper I’m hitting a John Piper kick once more.  I have alwa...

One night in Haiti we had a teaching on passion. We split into groups and discussed where it comes from, why people get burned out in the areas they are passionate in, and how to not become burned out. My group agreed that people become burned out because they lean on their own strength and enjoymen...

Miami traffic is ridiculous. One morning we went to a campus twenty minutes aways and it took us a little over an hour to get there. I could never live there. On the way back to the church that same day we all heard something “hit” the van. Shortly after most of us were thinking that Brenden wa...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people crammed into K2 (we nickname all the houses). International Night was a time for all of us to come together and celebrate our nationalities with food. I personally decided to contribute sweet tea to the menu; I thought about mashed potatoes but decide...

A lot of people will think of Will Smiths single  ”Miami”, released back in 1998, when they read Miami. Sadly I had never even heard of this song until someone started singing it when I mentioned I was going. I had never been to Miami and truthfully had no clue what to expect, besides a party ...

Today we went to the Farmers Market.  We went and no one else was there (a bad source told us it was on Saturday when in real life it’s on Sunday). So we ended up walking around Lake Eola. Coming from a place where you have to go to River Park North to see geese, I was in complete awe. I don’t ...

Most of you know that I am very peculiar about music. A huge part of my taste and high appreciation can be attributed to being in several bands back in high school and hanging out with all the guys who had rather high standards themselves and wrote music. So know that when people have good taste in ...

Being back in a place I considered home several years ago is really weird. Almost everything has changed; the people, the base (the church has been painted), the process of registration, the house flooring (now tile opposed to carpet) and the office (there is more than one now!). At times today it�...

I’m a pretty calm person; a lot of things just don’t phase me. This is something that friends point out because stuff like, a friend gets in a car accident and ends up in the hospital and I’m still calm. I am emotional, just don’t express my emotions exuberantly, though this has slowly been ...

So right now I’m sitting here watching “The taking of Pelham 123″, munching on cauliflower and crackers, drinking Sleepy Time tea, kinda editing photos and trying not to think about everything I should be doing. Recently I’ve become very … emotional, as my mom puts i...

The devastation here is unbelievable. And the problem didn’t start with the earthquake. The mindset of the Haitians is so different than Americans. Most of them just simply want to leave, yes they care about their families, but besides that they want to cut ties with Haiti. When the earthquake hit...
