Let’s see if I can post some pics! Here are some pictures from the day of the festival: INTI RAYMI.
Cusco!
INTI RAYMI - The festival of the sun
The hike into heaven…the day of the revolution!
A billion people… seriously.
The fearless leader…
Peruvian Revolution! Charge the hill!
Gringo’s joining the revolt!
Locals…
Check out Amalea’s blog for a great video of her and I laughing together.
It is so great being home again. The trip to Peru was AMAZING, but it was hard to be away from Amalea and Robin.
The trip to Peru was exactly what I needed, I think. It’s crazy how God has these things orchestrated. I think being with the kids from the youth group one last time, was exactly what I needed before I move to Oregon. Some really nice things were said, and some everlasting memories were made. Machu Picchu was incredible, and I hope to post some pictures on here soon. Everyone should go before they die, it is like nothing else on earth.
… then again, there is nothing quite like home.
This is the place where beauty blossoms from the ashes of our lives. This the place where I tell you my thoughts and you tell I’m wrong - and somehow we find beauty in it all.

My life is lived in a constant effort to serve others and not myself.
This, as I have discovered, is easier said than done. But everyday I learn more and more how to put my daughter, my wife, my neighbors and community, and my world before myself. Ultimately, I believe - this is faith. Living in love.
I enjoy creating: music, art, laughter & smiles, and peace.
I do not like: Pickles & Mustard.
I very much like: Chocolate Chip Cookies & Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream
I’ve never really gotten into drinking coffee or tea, or those other fancy things that “normal” adults do. I don’t understand business and the stock market, I’m clueless about competition, and I rarely understand half of comedians jokes… but I love listening to all types of people and discovering new things about the world.
