Transitions, again

This Tues­day was my last day at Riverbed. I’ve moved onto a year­long min­istry intern­ship at Regen­er­a­tion, and moved in across the street from the church in Oak­land. I’m start­ing to see how this is shap­ing up to be an urban monas­tic exis­tence, as Justin put it. It’s funny, because I used to think that […]

Untitled

I have dis­cov­ered you can­not prop­erly grieve in a city; it won’t give you a damn sec­ond to be alone. I’d like to have a moment of silence in an alley­way, behind the dump­ster, over the beggar-man, to the cacoph­ony of car horns and ice cream carousel jin­gles. No dice.

On grace in the new country

Grace, grace, it all comes from Grace. Today I heard that I deserve noth­ing; every­thing given to me is a gift.

Though the word spoken over me today was joy

I am now dis­traught with sweet, sweet grief in accept­ing what I do not understand. “Child of weak­ness watch and pray, find in Me thine all in all.”

The pieces are coming together.

The mis­sion next year is to live in faith, seek spir­i­tual renewal, and develop per­sonal bound­aries. In that order, until things change again.

Timed mile at Piedmont High

Timed mile at Pied­mont High, orig­i­nally uploaded by andrewhao. We decided to check out how fast we could run the mile again, six years out of high school. And you know what? It was a lot bet­ter than I remem­bered it. I won­der what Mr. Battaglia would think of me now…
