Some Older Pics From Florida

I came across these pictures in my photo browser and reminisced a little. This is in the parking lot of Calvary Chapel Boynton Beach, Florida. We were headed out to a David Crowder Concert and I figured I could bring some better clothes for us to wear. This was before we left. Good times.

Coney Island Baptism

A couple weeks ago my roommate and another dude from our fellowship got baptized out at Coney Island. I couldn't go 'cause I was at work, but I hear it was a really blessed time. I look forward to not missing fellowship because of work one day.

Robin and Tracy

These are my friends Robin, Tracy, and their two kids Kilaine and Liam. They went to be full-time missionaries in Peru. You should check out their blog. I have a link on the right side of my page. Read about what they are doing and pray with me for them- they're awesome.

Dave Mathews Band

The other day it rained really hard in New York. We have a basement apartment with a back patio. The patio is higher than the level of our floor. There is a small (three steps) staircase that goes from the door to the patio that is indented like a basin. Like I said it rained a lot the other day. Well, the two drains on the patio got blocked up with leaves, so all the water was filling up in the stairs. I woke up at about six in the morning hearing water inside. I knew the moment I woke up that we were flooding. So I turned the light on and sure enough, water was running in from all around the bottom of the door. I had to check out what was going on, so I opened the door. What I didn't know was that there was about 60 gallons of water on the other side waiting to come in. So when I opened the door I instantly dumped about 40 gallons of water in the apartment. It was crazy. I'm so glad we have a tile floor, otherwise it would have been a total mess. The water was brown and nasty. It took us a good three hours to clean up everything. Right as we finish, I'm moving our mini-fridge, and pull out a bottle of wine to set it on a table. I bump it on the table, drop the bottle, and sprayed red wine all over the floor we just cleaned. Anyway, the rest of the day we spent in Philladelphia. We took a bus from Chinatown in New York that drops you off in Chinatown in Philly. They're great, cheap, and only a little bit sketchy. We saw a Dave Mathews Concert, which was way better than I thought it would be. It was really sweet. Plus it was free, because we volunteered before the show. Got lost after and ended up taking the Greyhound bus back to NY. Long, but fun day. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures.

New York City Half Marathon

Sammy, my roommate, and I ran in the half marathon last week. We were too late to register, so we just showed up at the starting line and ran with everyone else. We didn't have numbers, so it wasn't official. We finished in 2 hours and nine minutes. We got the medals and everything, but we didn't have a camera or anyone to take a picture. So, when we got back to the apartment we took some fake finish line shots.

July 4th

On the Fourth of July a bunch of us guys from my church got together and played baseball at one of the diamonds in the area. It is a small field, used mostly for little league, so we used tennis balls. It was a lot of fun.

Here We Are

Ming, just...well, normal

Swing and a miss.

After Baseball some of us went out and got pizza at a great local place. After pizza we went out and saw the Transformers movie (which was pretty cool, better than I thought it would be). After the movies we went to another friends house in the church to watch the fireworks. They live on the 34th story of a building just across the street from the Empire State Building. The coolest part about fireworks from that high up in New York is that they light up all the buildings and shine the reflection of fireworks all around.
