My godson Tyler, wearing his Christmas gift from the Mexican side of my family.


Tyler Remple, a.k.a. The whitest Cholo in California. He needs a sombrero, huarache sandals, a mule, and a burrito. Ok, honestly... Is this not the cutest boy to come around since 1993? (the year of Samuel)

A Justuce Creed



~ We Believe that God is just and that God loves justice.
~ God delights in just laws and rejoices in just people.
~ God liberates those who are oppressed by injustice
and is grieved by unjust people and the unjust systems
they create and sustain.
~ God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
and God’s kingdom belongs to those willing to be
persecuted for the sake of justice.
~ To God, justice is a weighty thing that can never be
ignored.
~ We believe that Jesus came to display the justice of God,
in word and deed, in life, death, and resurrection.
~ The justice God desires, which he taught, must surpass that of the hypocrites,
for the justice of God is a compassionate justice,
rich in mercy and abounding in love for the last, the least, the lost, and the excluded.
~ On his cross, Jesus drew the injustice of humanity into the light,
and there the heartless injustice of human empire met
~ The reconciling justice of the kingdom of God.
~ The resurrection of Jesus proclaims that the true
justice of God,
~ Naked, vulnerable, and scarred by abuse, is stronger
that the violent injustice of humanity, armed with weapons, conceit, deceit, and lies.
~ We believe that the Holy Spirit is here now,
convicting the world of sin and injustice,
warning that God’s judgment will come on all that is unjust.
~ We believe that the kingdom of God is not a matter of superficial things
but is justice, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
~ Empowered by the Spirit, then, we seek God’s kingdom
and we seek God’s justice, for so we live and work and pray,
until justice rolls down like water,
until justice flows like a never-ending stream.
~ For we believe that God is just, and the true and living God loves justice.

~ Amen ~

Saying goodbye to some of my boys on the Earthquakes


This picture is a few of my boys from the San Jose EarthQuakes. The first guy in the front is Shea, he will be back next year, next is James, he was picked up by Seattle in the expansion draft. The next guy is Mikel, I'm not sure what's happening with him, the fourth guy is Davide who currently playing on an Adidas team in the offseason... He will me back with the Quakes next season.
 
The very last guy is Jay. He and I just had lunch, and discussing some of his options. Jay is traveling from San Jose to Tampa, and will spend the holidays with family. I will continue to pray for Jay as things unfold for him. He is a great guy with a huge heart. I'm glad we shared lunch before he left.

When people give sacrificially and generously, it an amazing thing to see. Check this:


This was a Gift from a dear friend named Kara. It seems clear to me that she should be honored publically for her graciousness towards mankind

Many thanks to the 700+ people who came to the show last night at the classic Heritage Theater.


It was a great night of comedy and an honor to feature at this show and open for Mark Lundholm. He was very supportive of me and loved my portion of the show. I thought Mark was hilarious and his honesty makes his humor that much more funny and real. I hope we get the chance to work together again.

There is nothing better to do than to come to my show. Check this out, they got me up in lights


You know what they say in show business... You have not hit the big time until you've played The Heritage Theatre in Cambell. You'd think they could spell my name right... Sheesh

To verify my attendance at the firehouse dedication I went down the pole. Unfortunately I look like a stripper


Not that I would even know what a stripper pole really looks like. It's a very nice station and It replaced the station that was down the street from my house. No more late night fire engine going down my block at 1 am, episodes.
