CCDA Blogging
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008Missing CCDA this year for the first time in a while for obvious reasons. MISSING it, big time. CCDA is, first and foremost, an association of really great people who love God and people and are trying to live out what that means in community. I’ll be voyeuristically attending as much as [...]

Friday Foto Finish
Friday, July 4th, 2008Happy Holiday Weekend
A two-fer-one special today, honoring both our Native American Major League Baseball players — including two of the game’s rising young stars in Joba Chamberlain and Jacoby Elsbury — and this weekend’s Yankee/Red Sox slug fest (which admittedly has lost some national luster with the upstart Rays this season). The Iroquois [...]
Challenge 2008
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Last time Judah and I were at the Water Gap Resort for a retreat (2006), this is what we found.
The Delaware River had flooded the town 100 yards or so down the hill from the resort and power outages plagued the facility for most of the first 24 hours of the retreat. This [...]

3) Abuelo passed away.
Judah and I return today for the Council of Korean Baptist Churches of New York’s Challenge 2008 joint youth retreat.
