honoring the life of Tak Kim

jeong kim is a good friend, faithful church member, & leader in our ministry. last sunday his father passed away due to a heart attack. he was only 65 years old. i was at the hospital with the family on sunday night. though it was a tragedy, i remember thinking that mr. kim was blessed to be surrounded by family members who loved him so dearly. he was blessed to have raised and left behind three grown children, who will carry on his memories and legacy.

the funeral service is tonight at 8pm & tomorrow at 10am (central funeral home, 809 broad ave. ridgefield). i will be giving the sermon at the morning service. i am encouraged to know that many of our church members will be there to support jeong.

mission trip: yucatan, mexico

last week, six of our church members went on a mission trip in yucatan, mexico. we spent the first three days leading a retreat for jovenes (young adults) at mesias church. we expected 20 jovenes, but over 50 showed up. we spent the next three days assisting the leadership of a youth conference for over 100 students. the highlight of the trip was doing evangelism in the parks late at night.

mouse

i woke up this morning at around 5am in order to go to the early morning prayer service. i heard a repeating scratching sound in the house. i thought i might be a thief trying to pick the lock. but i found a mouse in our kitchen sink. it was swimming in our green salad bowl. i would have taken a picture, but i was in a rush to get to church. so i just set him free outside.

we had our retreat last weekend. the guys look so funny in this picture all holding their marshmallows.
