a hopeful holiday.

Here is a news story that covered a Thanksgiving Dinner that my church, Karis Community Church, hosted last night. It was so awesome. We had a great turnout and a lot volunteers from the church.

This event was part of our Shalom ministry where we seek to really work towards the peace and good of our city through projects that meet their physical and spiritual needs. God is working in our city.

God of This City by Chris Tomlin

You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are

You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City

oh my god

here is a video from one of my favorite bands 'jars of clay'. it is truly amazing. it asks some deeply moving questions about faith and struggle in the world.


Behind the Song:
"With Oh My God, we wanted to kind of communicate that everybody at some point intersects with God, whether they choose to believe or not, and people all have their reasons for crying out to God. And some of those are really deep, deep doubts. There are times when I wrestle with that now, but growing up I didn’t know the gospel could stand up to the scrutiny. It’s a question that I think needs to be asked. This song has three parts. It starts out being many people’ stories and the third part is my personal story...Why I cry out to God." - Dan Haseltine (Jars Of Clay)

She said yes!!!

here is a quick glimpse at me asking mel to marry me.
