Five Factors That Make A Bar Awesome:

You don’t need much more than an ID and a bikini.
A drink or food creation you’ve never heard of and have to have.
The ability to throw peanuts all over the place.
Drink specials that include things like “bottomless” or “free”.
Insane people watching, themed events.

Once Is Enough

MK and I love trying new things, places, and events. If it looks or sounds interesting, we’ll check it out. Maybe we hear about it from a friend, or read it in the paper. Even if it is something sort of unusual, we try to have fun.
Some of those things have totally stuck. We go […]

Uganda – Village Ministry

We just returned from village life in Eastern Uganda, where we focused on training pastors and church planters on The Gospel, Gospel Change, Community Development, and Contextualization. It was an one of the best cultural experiences I have had. Very African, very rural, very exciting. We had discussions about witch doctors, polygamy, famine, drinking—all very […]

Update On Our Darling Seals

Last week, a judge gave the city 72 hours to get rid of the seals. Remember them?
I told you all I knew about the history of the land here, and what it was like last year in La Jolla while I lived there.
Fortunately not much happened while we were gone. There’s a lack of money […]

Five Reasons It’s Good Having Family in San Diego:

My brother has already made himself very helpful – he fixed the TV!
His new place has air conditioning.
An extra car.
Volleyball buddy!
The sports package with all the games.

Uganda – Street Kids

We went to a street kids home called Save Street today. Moving. Conditions are poor; spirits are rich. Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God. Some days they don’t get a meal, but they are happy, learning the gospel, and in school. They did traditional dances for us, we took […]

My Press On Obsession

Since this is MY website, I try to avoid looking like a total goober around here. I don’t tell you all my painfully embarrassing moments, although I average 5 a day and it would be a lot of content…
That notwithstanding, I just have to admit that the little bit of ghetto nerd in me has a […]

Journaling

Even though I’ve found this website a great place to chronicle adventures, I don’t post ‘here’s what I did today’ everyday. I just try to stay in the habit of writing little blurbs to make my brain work. I wanted to post stories and poetry but have totally chickened out for three years straight. Then I […]

Best I Can Do

We’vebeen having such a great summer! Getting to know our good friends even better, hanging around the beach, trying tons of new places, and starting our volleyball club at 4pm has been a blast! MK has a ton of photos he owes me that I keep promising you that just aren’t happening. Today BD and MR […]
