Thursday, September 11, 2014. You compile a guest list - recounting all of the ones held dear who share a part of your story - a congregation far greater than could ever be fit into a reception hall. You clean out closets - an attempt to purge possessions only to find yourself in a heap of worn denim, track and field ribbons, sticky notes and birthday cards, all piecing into a glorious mosaic of memories. Standing between who you were and who you get to be.

Yesterday I lost my first tooth in two years. All I was doing was eating pop rocks. One tooth started hurting every time I used it. Finally I felt a tooth come out. I went to my house and showed my mom. After that I went to look for more pop rocks. Cookies to Die for and Rollerbldes. This week I got rollerblades. I have been having lots of fun. thank you Journey Church familys who donated rollerblades for me and my brother. When I was camping in .

We want to follow the message of Jesus Christ to focus our lives around other-centered, compassionate, action-oriented love. 5 Years Since That Devastating Day. Me and an ER physician exhausted in the middle of the night with body in background. Military chopper bringing wounded to our facility. A new Haiti, a new beginning. I could see the sights in my mind, hear the soun.

Friday, December 14, 2012. There are no easy answers. Can I ask you a question? Why - why is that okay? Sickened.

Take my life and let it be, all for you and for your glory. Take my life and let it be yours. Saturday, December 11, 2010. I feel very blessed to have lived here and experienced everything I have experience. My friends have taught me so much. They have taught me that life is not my own and each day you get is a gift.
