Watching the 2012 London Olympics was definitely one of the top highlights of my year! I cheered faithfully each night for the Fierce Five as they tumbled and landed themselves as women’s Olympic gymnastics champions. Each of these five young gymnasts contributed something special and memorable to America. Jordyn Weiber encouraged millions with her powerful comeback during the team final [...]

This has been an awful year for me. At the very beginning of the year, two close friends passed away.  One was my acting mentor, the woman who shaped the very essence of who I am as an actor.  Other than God, she was the key guiding presence in my walk as an actor.  That was, and still is, utterly [...]

Next week, our issue on the topic of family will finally be released. Here’s a quick excerpt from Will’s introduction letter to get you excited: You’ll find many articles in this issue, with topics ranging from dealing with absent fathers to bi-racial in-laws. The scope of family is simply too broad for us to cover in one issue. But a [...]

My name is Jamie Kelly Jeremy Chung-Hu-Lin, and I am an actor. I am a 1.5 generation Chinese-American Christian female living in Los Angeles. I adore cats, even though I am very allergic to them, and I enjoy the smell of coffee, even though I never drink coffee. I am the black sheep of my entire family:  For all my [...]

Our pastor has been going over the book of Acts during his Sunday sermons and so I decided read the passage in a little more detail while I was on the bus during my 25-minute commute to school. As I began to read through Stephen’s overview of the Old Testament story, this passage caught my eye: 30 After forty years [...]

A little over a year ago, I felt led to simplify my life in order to bless other people and put myself in a position to give more. I set a goal that once Jan 1, 2011 rolled around, I would only own 100 things. At the time, I did not think I could do it…but I tried. I gave [...]

So 2011 is over and I have not done an items update in a long time. I figured that people did not really give a crap every time I bought a new shirt or got rid of one so I just stopped doing updates to the point where… I completely forgot to do any updates at all. Because 2011 has [...]

“I’ll stir-fry you in my wok.” — Beastie Boys — “Intergalactic” What is the big deal about the Beastie Boys? When I was in college, “Hello Nasty” was one of the more critically acclaimed albums of my freshman year, and I never understood why. My big beef with the Beastie Boys is that they seem to rap about absolutely nothing. [...]

WORSHIP MUSIC is my life. I don’t say this to impress anyone or make myself feel like a better Christian; in fact, I question the cognizance of anyone who, when faced with a decision to hit up an epic party or learn how to implement 7th chords into the next worship set, reaches for his guitar. I make no excuses [...]

THIS PAST SUMMER, I went with our church’s student ministries to lead a Vacation Bible School program on a Navajo reservation as a short term missions trip. The last few days of our trip overlapped with a Gospel tent meeting that our host church coordinated. The morning before the gathering’s first night, we were invited to prepare a few songs [...]
