Here are my thoughts in written form. I hope they are valuable and contribute to your growth.
The Knight Parable
If you're interested in the parable I wrote to preach on the journey towards spiritual maturity in church last week, post a comment and I'll send you the file. There's a lot that could be included in it, but it basically outlines 5 steps that a young man takes to...

I got this picture from one of my students who just finished leading a camp for more than 200 middle schoolers. The letter says in English, I want to take this opportunity to write to you and share about our experience in the middle school summer camp. We had a group...
read moreAn easy trip to the movies
This afternoon, Carson and I went to see Superman Returns. It just opened here last Friday, and the movies in Mexico are discounted on Wednesdays (that's right, every Wednesday, it's only 30 pesos - less than $3 US), so we knew there would be a ton of people at the...

Last night was a horrible night. Nathan woke up at 5 am and wouldn't go back to sleep. He's been fussy, so we've been fussy. It's not easy to live on a few hours of sleep, especially when you have a meeting in the morning. Then, when you go to your meeting and the guy...

We found some shoes for Nathan today! They are made of stretchy material, so they fit better and are easier to get on him. We went to the Bazaar, a flea-market sort of place, and bought them. They were only 120 pesos, too! That's about 11 US dollars. He loves them. It...

I'm working with this local church youth ministry, advising them and helping as much as I can. Tonight, I went to a meeting with the guy in charge of the youth ministry, and he took me to a meeting with their youth worship teams. They have three bands that take turns...
