I'm like a virus. . .

The contagious aspect, not the whole parasite thing.

Leaving for LA

(How many photos like this since college? heehee) Sandra & Dave Sohn, thank you so much for your hospitality in organizing and hosting the NC potluck! It was so nice to reconnect with familiar (and new) faces and a great way to conclude my time here in NC as I prepare to begin life again in LA. To all you parents out there, you guys are great and are raising sweet & adorable children.

I'm leaving for LA (Long Beach) on Wednesday to begin a new ministry and would appreciate your prayers. I'll be joining a group of pastors at an established Presbyterian church who have the vision and desire to reach out to displaced and unchurched 2nd generation Korean/Asian Americans. Our hope is that we will build, strengthen and transform a community of individuals, families and marriages in the love and wholeness of Christ. It's an exciting prospect because this church is a Japanese American & Anglo American church that merged 5 years ago--a congregation that is intentionally multi-ethnic and multi-generational (from babies to grandparents). And though the new ministry means taking a risk and facing uncertainty, I can't help but look forward to the experience, knowing God is faithful and good. So if you are ever in the area, please stop by (Grace 1st Presbyterian church, Lakewood (Long Beach) CA or just give me a "hollah" and I'll take you out for some tasty Mexican and Korean grub. Brian, a potluck in LA????

More photos from NC POTLUCK

(Emily saying hello to Alex) Dave Yoo--put up some photos of you since you are often behind that awesome camera of yours that makes us look so good. What's the model number on that camera again? ;)

PP3?

PP2!

Potluck pics

#2 on the way!

As some of you already know, we're expecting again, probably sometime next May. We're not as worried about the pregnancy like the first time. Just a bit scared about handling 2 little ones at the same time. :)

This pic was from a swim class we took Josh to. He loves the pool, but as soon as I dunked his head underwater, he started crying and wanted out. Maybe I'll just take him straight to the surfboard.

It aint over 'till it's over!

Is anyone else excited about October (or as Dane Cook has been calling it, "Actober")? I just watched Mariano Rivera save Andy Pettitte's 200th career win, and I am totally pumped. I could ALMOST say I would be OK if the season ended today, with the standings the way they are since the Yanks have made such an incredible comeback the second half of this season, but I just can't! How are we only 1.5 games behind the Redsox?????? For all of you out there who think baseball is boring and can't stand to watch it (i.e. Ed), NOW is the time. The east coast is buzzing right now with the Yankees' surge and also much to my delight, the downward spiral that the Mets are on. Adam still refuses to believe in his Phillies (typical Philadelphia fan) after too many seasons of winding up just a game short, but I'm cheering them on. Every season there is so much to keep up with; baseball is always full of compelling stories and exciting drama. Like the Cubs and Lou Piniella, with their dramatic comeback this season, the exciting young talent of the Brewers, not to mention of course, the historic season that A-Rod has had, and all the rookies that the Yankees have showcased this season (if you haven't heard the name Joba Chamberlain yet, you will!). I could go on and on. Although all the "scandals" of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs may turn off a lot of you potential fans, I say there is still a lot of "good" baseball to get excited about. Get into it if you're not already! Go Yankees!

Potluck

This is an open invitation to anyone who is in the Triangle area to a potluck BBQ on Sunday the 23rd. If you are interested, email me (sandra.dave@gmail.com) and I'll send you the evite. These are the people I know who are around:
Dave & Julie Yoo
Ed & Linda Suh
John and Jen Jo
Hongeun Kim (don't know married name)
Esther Hahm
Daniel and Elaine Lee

Jen, I also invited Essie and Steve.

Am I missing anyone? Anyone going to be passing through that weekend? Come join us!

Today was a good day. Video of Nifong going to jail.

If I wasn't on call this week, I would have been at the jail with my camcorder. I think a few more people should be joining him. (Keep hope alive!) Hopefully, the threat of the civil lawsuits that are poised to bankrupt the city will shake a few more of these criminal 'tards out of the Durham public sector and police department. I'm just glad we don't live in Durham because taxes are definitely going up to pay for everything. Maybe next time, the people of Durham will think twice before electing a race-baiting scumbag as district attorney. But I think that might be asking too much.

Frickin' Ron Paul for President!

I've already donated my vegas winnings to his campaign at ronpaul2008.com. Anyone that can make the weasels at foxnews like sean hannity and chris wallace upset has my utmost admiration.
