In between my seventh and eighth grade school years, as part of a program called People to People, I traveled to the United Kingdom with approximately 3o other junior high students as a ”Student Ambassador”. Since this trip took place almost ten years ago, I remember little about the trip.

The temptation when writing on a subject such as sports is to take just the verses that apply directly and interpret them literally and expand from them. The main verses come from Paul when in First Corinthians 9:25 he says “Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable reward.” [...]
This is a photo that I took in Seattle, WA working on a research vessel in the Puget Sound lake. Amazing, isn’t it? Look at how many different colors stream across the sky. Off to the left, you can see the silhouette of the mountains. Gorgeous!
Why do we admire scenes like this? What is it [...]
Moving forward, and looking back, but where have I really gone? I’m so confused with no one to assist. I thought I stepped here, and I thought I stepped there, but it’s footprints everywhere. So I take a rest, and lean…but I stumble. Then I think to myself, I want to go back, but how [...]
I aint here to show off, I ain’t gotta pretend. Waking up, my first thought is to sin. No way to cover it up, no way to blot it out; yet all through my sin all i can seem to do is shout. Shout for victory, shout for struggle, shout cuz my two lives are [...]

Because you’re my KING, I am subject to the move of your hand. What you say, I must obey. I adhere to your every command. I check with you before I do anything. I asl your permission just to be in your presence. I cherish every moment with you. I count hearing every word from [...]
He said I am the way the truth the life
Don’t think you should grab a knife
Because your sad and not glad
Doesn’t mean God would be mad
You try and try and fail again
But always remember what you can do through Him
He gives you strength He gives you courage
He is your rock and your foundation
He gave His [...]
I said goodbye to her once a long time ago. It is done and over with; I went my way and she went hers. Even though she was a big part of my life for so long and I deeply loved her, I doubt that our paths will cross again. She is missed and will [...]
