Pok Pok
I just had to write about our dining experience at Pok Pok, a Portland Thai restaurant. Shua and I were looking for something good and cheap and so we figured Thai. We found this place on the web and decided to check it out. We had to wait about an hour to get in and [...]
Sometimes It’s Better to Run
I had a spiritual dream last night. I get those every once in a while. In last night’s dream, my family and I were at this house that was obviously filled with vampire-like demons. And even though I knew this house was filled with demons, I decided to lead my family in there any way, [...]
Hero or Hooligan: Which One Are You?
I was reading this article in the Vancouver Sun regarding the Vancouver Stanley Cup Riots. The author raised an interesting question: “What separates heroes from hooligans in a mob?” When the city was under assault, most actively participated in raucus and destructive behavior, often carried away with a mob mentality. But there were those few, [...]
Can Eight People Drive a Thousand Miles in a Small Minivan Without Driving Each Other Crazy?
If any of you have ever watched the Odd Couple, you know the significance of this title. We have now driven over a thousand miles with me, my wife, my four kids, and my in-laws in one car. And you could imagine that in such close quarters, there would be some challenges that would arise. [...]
This Is Mars Hill
Infant Dedication We had the privilege of attending Mars Hill Church in Ballard. I was trying to research which campus Mark Driscoll actually preached at and I found absolutely no information that would answer this question. But then a friend told us that he preached at the Ballard campus and so we decided to give [...]
Ocean Border Crossings
When you looked out into the ocean, you could see this mountain range in Washington. I believe it’s Mt. Olympia. Well, we’re finally back in the U.S., at a hotel in Seattle. The rest of our visit in Victoria was wonderful. On the day before we left, we did a coastal trail hike (which is [...]
Still Life Lessons from Flowers
Yesterday, we went to the Butchart Gardens, a beautiful layout of flowers. I remember the days when I couldn’t stand going to such places with my parents. In my impatient youth (and I still struggle with patience), I found such adventures quite boring. But now, I can’t help but be mesmerized by the beauty of [...]
Depravity Has No Nationality
Overturned Vancouver Police Cars Tear Gas to Break Up the Crowds Canadians have always given off the impression that they are far kinder, nicer, and gentler than their arrogant, rambunctious neighbors to the south. But it seems Americans aren’t the only depraved human beings in the northern hemisphere. As I sit here in my hotel [...]
Disappointed with Victoria, Never Disappointed with God
We’re now in Victoria, which is the capitol of British Columbia. Admittedly, I’m a bit disappointed thus far. I thought it would have much more of a European flair to the city, but it’s similar to any urban setting in the U.S. It has a nice wharf area, but even that is not much different [...]
