On a recent trip to Chicago, my wife and I visited the Shedd Aquarium and witnessed an amazing jellyfish exhibit. It was so great, I thought I would share via video. If you are ever around an aquarium with jellies, though, I highly recommend checking it out! They are just one of God's amazing and … Continue reading Jellyfish at the Shedd Aquarium
Marriage Reflections
This past weekend, I had the privilege of going to Chicago to be in a wedding for one of my best friends. Mark and I have been friends since our freshman year of college.

Becoming Viral
About two weeks ago, my life radically changed. I woke up to one of my YouTube videos in the process of going viral. It was something I never thought would happen, and when it did, I began to learn a lot! Over the next few weeks, I plan to discuss some of those bits of … Continue reading Becoming Viral
Here Begins a Busy Summer
The last few years, summer has not been that relaxing. It all starts with a trip to Los Angeles for E3. This is mostly a fun trip, where I play video games and write up some blog posts for NintendoFuse.com. Then, a few weeks later is Camp Create, our church's summer arts camp.

What Can I Do? – A Response to the Boston Bombings
As one of the biggest running events neared its conclusion yesterday in Boston, time seemed to stop. However, it was not because of a particular underrated runner finishing the 26.2 miles or anything like that.

Eggs, Baskets, and Me
The idiom goes, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." This is probably one of those sayings that people use in an off-handed manner, but it actually has much more meaning than one would expect. Better yet, the Bible has something to say about it. The Apostle Paul says it this way: “'I have the right … Continue reading Eggs, Baskets, and Me
Addressing the Controversy of Bibles and Prayer in School
The other day, I saw one of those "someecard" things on Facebook that said, "Bibles aren't allowed in schools anymore, but encouraged in prisons." I could not help but think to myself, "That's not exactly true." Bibles are allowed in schools, and so is prayer. It has often been said that as long as there … Continue reading Addressing the Controversy of Bibles and Prayer in School
When Does Your Excitement Begin?
The other day, when I finished my fourth chapter of my thesis and my wife finished her third chapter, she began getting excited for the end. She looked at me and said something like, "Aren't you happy!?" Then, after talking a bit, she realized this was just another time when she was going to have … Continue reading When Does Your Excitement Begin?
