beg/borrow/steal

There are a lot of people out there who are doing "a photo a day" blogs and they do it for a large variety of reasons: some artistic, some documentary, some just for fun. My friend, Jimmy Hayes, is doing a photo-a-day blog while living in NYC and it's pretty cool.

Borrowing/stealing from Jimmy, I've decided that a photo-a-week would help me keep up the blogging and keep people updated on my life abroad and here in the states.

Last night I got to spend some over-due time with Kara McClure (affectionately known as K'Mc). We went and listened to Handel's Messiah at 10th Pres in Philly and it was extremely moving.

Afterward, we met up with Fausto for some eats. Fausto had previously introduced me to vietnamese food, specifically Pho. [If you're not a vegetarian and haven't eaten it, run to the nearest vietnamese restaurant].

Fausto and I have since become slightly addicted to pho and bubble tea smoothies. Avocado is actually the best. So while looking for a place to sit and chat last night (after getting my last Pat's cheesesteak in Philly), we wound up at the Pho Café on 11th & Washington. A great ending to a wonderful evening.

The past month has been a whirlwind of preparations, packing, goodbyes, questions, meetings, and emotions. I've moved out of my house in Philly [i miss my jklmn girls] and I'm back in Moorestown with Ma Burris. I end work at Center City Crime Victim Services in a week and then it will be time to really finish packing, and perhaps even sending off some stuff via USPS.

I sold my car on Monday and then rode my bike to a doctor's appointment yesterday. Baby steps. :)

I don't have much time to update on small details right now, BUT suffice it to say that fundraising for UPH is going to be my main concern starting next week (once I'm not working full time). So in light of that -- here's a link to a UPH fact-sheet that you may find interesting as you [possibly] think or pray through supporting the ministry monthly.
