First of all, let me try to explain once again why I do not have a comment section on my blog. In fact, there are a lot of people who have said various things about me for not enabling the comment section. I understand I am not a true blogger if I don’t have the […]

It is good to be a Chicago fan today. Cubs 4, St. Louis 2 Bears 20, Kansas City 10 Die-hard fans are hard to come by nowadays. We are hoping that this will be the year of glory!

Morning – Our first all day training conference for our TEAM Community (leadership community for our small group leaders and ministry team leaders). It was great having the leaders of HMCC of Chicago join us for the conference. It was also a blessing to see non-pastors teaching some of the classes to equip the people […]

Since people know I enjoy all kinds of music, one of my members recommended a website awhile back that plays all “kinds of music” for FREE. Yup, you heard me right… FREE. It is called The Pandora Radio, which is sponsored by the The Music Genome Project. The best part of this is that you […]

I cannot believe KiKi is 4 years old now. Time has flown by quickly. We followed our b-day tradition: 1) We allowed the birthday person to pick a restaurant that they want to go to. KiKi picked Macaroni Grill not for the food but because of their Smothered Chocolate Cake. This girl is starting early […]

Tomorrow we will have our congregational meeting with all our covenant signing members in our church. I really look forward to these meetings because I have the opportunity to share about the current situation in our church and even cast some vision for the coming year. It is kind of like the State of the […]

Today is a sad day. When I checked the news this morning, I found out that Luciano Pavarotti passed away early this morning. He was one of the godfathers of opera. Music is such a powerful medium to communicate a message. He used his tenor voice to dazzle the crowds, especially with his international crowds. […]

        Today, the Covenant group, which is our married couples’ group in our church, will be heading out for a retreat. We usually have a great time of just chillin’ and fellowshipping together. Most of the families bring their kids so it is good time even for the kids to play together. […]

I realized the power Christina has over my life. Last night, Christina somehow convinced me to try putting on a facial mask. At first I was very resistant because I have always associated guys putting on a facial mask with – well, I can’t say it on this blog 🙂 When I saw it as […]

Tonight we had our first gathering for Operation Campus Reach (OCR). For those of you who don’t know what OCR is – it is an event where we gather as many HMCC students as possible to come early to school in order to be trained in reaching out to the new students who will be […]

I have to admit that I had some withdrawal symptoms today. It felt weird not rushing to the airport trying to catch my normal flight out to Chicago. Even Christina was asking me if it felt different being able to stay here in Ann Arbor on Sunday. I guess if you do something for 11 […]

I don’t know if you have been keeping up with the Michael Vick’s legal case but on Friday Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner indefinitely suspended Vick without pay. Due to my love for sports, I have been keeping up with the whole situation from time to time. It is very interesting how this case is […]

Did you hear? A 17 year old from New Jersey named George Hotz unlocked the iPhone. Now, the iPhone can be used with a SIM card from T-Mobile or other carriers. The story was reported on FoxNews about the audacious feat. Hotz decided to sell one of the unlocked iPhones on eBay and as of […]

We found out that we just got student status at University of Illinois – Chicago campus for this coming year… yay God! Now we will be able to meet on campus and proceed with some of the things that God has placed in our hearts. More than anything else, we will be joining God with […]
