My friend Jon Chan and I had the privilege to take some pictures of Bridge of Hope a few Saturdays ago.  Aside from their website, you can read a little bit more about them here.  Here are a few pictures that tell the story.

Seizure Free!

View Comments

Peanut’s epilepsy first started appearing in May of 2009. For almost one year he has had to deal with seizures, clusters and setbacks. It was rough for him and rough for us. But the good news is, he has been seizure free for more than 4 months now! With a combination of KBr and Phenobarbital we’ve been able to reduce the seizures to 0! Here are a few pictures of him with my new lens :)

We traveled to Houston, TX in mid May to celebrate Jasper’s graduation from Rice University!  It poured on graduation day and they stuffed us all into an auditorium.

Coast Vineyard Baptism 2010

View Comments

This Easter I felt conflicted between two goals.  One goal was to solemnly honor and remember Christ’s death on the cross (Good Friday) and the other goal was to celebrate Christ’s rising from the dead (Easter Sunday).   I realized I don’t really know how to do either very well.  I asked Jenn how we can better celebrate the Easter, and she gave me a good perspective.  Aside from the the bunnies and eggs, Easter is about new life in Christ, regeneration, and restoration.  She noted that as we live our busy lives, good habits sometimes are left along the way.

What if, each Easter we rekindled a good habit that our busy lives have forced us to leave behind?  We thought about how when we were dating, we made the habit of inviting friends over and cooking meals for them.  We did it because we wanted to cultivate a communal aspect of our relationship.  We’ve stopped doing that as often, maybe because of distance, or because of busyness, none of which are good reasons.  So we decided to give some new life to an old habit, to celebrate our life in Christ’s resurrection.

Another awesome way to celebrate Easter is to have a baptism!  It was beautiful to see so many church members there to share lunch with, hear the testimonies of how God has worked in the lives of those getting baptized and then celebrating with them.  Here are a few photos that I had the honor and privilege of taking!
