"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

This picture is this verse incarnate. I can't explain everything that is going on here, but if anybody is the praying type, I would ask you to do so for my block.

Thanks friends.

Remembering

My 6-member team was packed into a 5-seating car on the way to sneak into a hotel to go swimming last summer. I started singing "Everything I do, I do for you" by Bryan Adams. One team member joined in, then two more, then the others. All in complete seriousness. No laughing or otherwise exploiting the whole experience. And everybody knew the words.

One of my favorite moments of Mission Year for sure.

So long, bragging rights.

Just another post berating myself for not blogging :D

Really, I feel like these kind of posts are frequent (if you can call my writing on here "frequent"), so I'll spare you three or so readers the lame story and just let you know that, after much contemplation about the Internet, public vs. private life, whatever... on the sidebar, there's a thing that says "thinking and/or doing" (or something like that), which is a nice way of camouflaging the ugliness of the layout that is a Twitter account.

I KNOW, I know... I'll take the teasing and insulting... but it, so far, has been 1) better for me than blogging, in that I don't have a whole lot of time to sit down and write about things I've been thinking about in depth (which, believe you me, has not been all that prevalent lately) and need to write a bunch on. Thus, it has been 2) a nice and quick way to process daily happenings (kind of). So, there it is. I just got to the point where I was tired of being a hypocrite by reading other people's blogs and such, but not reciprocating, so to speak.

So, it's a step. A step in the direction of an inevitable fact that everybody's shit is gonna be everywhere on the WWW someday. Just wait. Oh, and enjoy all my updates.
