i am bummed out to read about this loss of one of south korea’s national treasures. adam & jessica are over there teaching and brought it to my attention. it is always sad to see landmarks, especially of the sort that have been around before even the finding of the america’s.

one crazy beautiful weekend!
i am back from one of our most crazy & fun weekends. today we ended our largest retreat event as a united methodist conference "warmth in winter." it is held at the convention center in nashville and i help out by training up teens to do the videos that are shown throughout the weekend. johnathan did a really good job for the weekend in leading our group of youthfuls.
it’s a busy time for me & most of my friends involved. we all work hard to make the retreat happen and this one was a pretty darn good time for all the efforts put in. our speaker, bob stromberg (who did a great job btw), framed the retreat it in a fashion that i really liked. i was told he said something like, that many events are very impersonable, but this one has a real closeness vibe, like camp. which, i really like. for a 2,500 person event, that’s cool to me. but i have been know to do anti-events in the past anyways.
anyway, the picture is maggie. it’s her foot. she was my photographer for the weekend, and take photos she did. though not to many of her. so look for new pictures uploaded to the youth flickr and probably the youth facebook. i noticed too that i am an admin for the warmth in winter facebook group.. fancy that.
till then check out emily’s chronicle of the adventures of "mini-gavin"
faith filled pick up lines
who says you cannot be a Christian and pick up chicks. we even have our own pick up lines to sort out who is in our tribe and who is not.

because you’re speaking in tongues. Is there an ancient language called
Babe? - I used to believe only faith could make a sick person well until I
saw you, because, baby, you just healed something deep inside me that
I’d never let Benny Hinn touch. - Baby, the rapture’s coming soon-let’s hold each other tight before the non-Christians wage war and kill us all.
- I’m sure glad your mama was pro-life.
not to leave out us methodists
- Baby, you make me feel strangely warmed.
- I second and refer your motion to the subcommittee of my heart.
- You send a charge through my conference.
- And Can It Be that you’re single?
