On the bus

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

It's been a long day. I have attended parts of all four services that SCF offers, but none of them completely. I was collecting money and forms for the upcoming retreat for the first two, then running a video in the last two. After that was cell group. As of ...

The crazy life

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Things have been very busy for me the past couple of months, and this weekend especially. I'm starting to back out of SOAR so I can spend more time on the future group, and I also want to finish strong at work. With the transition, there is more work for ...

After a long delay

Monday, April 13th, 2009

So it has been a long time since my last real update. I spent Christmas in Shanghai, but had a business trip to Cedar Rapids in January and spent an extra week in South Dakota during the Spring Festival holiday. The airplane has so far flown two more times since ...

Wow, it has been a really long time since I updated this site

Friday, April 10th, 2009

And a lot has happened. Trip to US in Jan, great youth group retreat last weekend, and I'm getting a new job in August - I just don't know what yet. More details later - kinda slacking off at work now.

Winding Down

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Keeping busy

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

I knew it had been a while since I updated this, but I hadn't realized it has been almost one month. How time flies! It has been a really busy time for me. From the time of my last post until October 5 I was busy with the youth retreat ...

The foreigner tax

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

There are a lot of non-government taxes around. The stupid tax (lottery) and ignorant tax (where a pretty girl calls you handsome and wants to practice English with you, and conveniently knows a good tea house to sit and talk at, then conviently orders expensive tea and doesn't have the ...

Three for Four

Monday, September 15th, 2008

I worked yesterday, making that three out of the past four Sundays I have been working. I also worked today, which is supposed to be a holiday. Out of the 14 hours worked over the long weekend, only about 5 were actual work. The rest of the time was waiting ...

The overdue update

Monday, September 8th, 2008

So I didn't work yesterday, but was negligent in updating, so I'm taking a bit of time today to update. Things have been very busy here, only starting to slow down last week. I am really far behind and will be trying to get caught up over the next few weeks. ...
