r.i.p. jamesus


there are very few people who are worthy of the suffix "-sus". there's joesus (former 2 time UCR KCM president), a great guy. there's also jesus, the son of the one and only almighty God. but today i'm writing about jamesus, the kindest, most selfless man i've ever met. merely thinking of you gives me hope for our depraved humanity.

what a great loss for all of us.

because of commitments and convictions

almost two years ago i went to china with a great vision, and i came back with an even greater calling. i’m not saying that i was called to be a missionary. no way. but i was called to go back. i don’t know maybe not. maybe i feel like i have this great calling because i had so much damn fun in china.

regardless, i made a commitment to go back to china, and i intend to keep my word. i won’t be trekking the streets of beijing with my enormous twenty person team this time, but i won’t be alone. a guy by the name youface will be coming to with me, and i hope we can have fun together. but more importantly, i hope we can keep each other accountable.

i haven’t done anything so far to prepare for this trip, i don’t think i’ve even prayed much about it. so i think i need to start.
