Grateful

Christmas Eve in Harbin (just visiting).

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a God who kept me well.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a God who gave me peace.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a God who restored my will to live.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a new job (through something which I didn’t think was possible, mind you).

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a new roof over my head.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a new circle of friends and community in an unfamiliar place.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a family who dropped everything when I was at my lowest.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a family who sustained me through trying times.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for a family who helped found pathways where I thought there were none.

This Christmas, I’m grateful for this life.

Gotta Be Aggressive

Had to deal with an airline screwing up a flight ticket yesterday. Had to toe the line between aggressive and polite in getting the mistake fixed. Reminded me of this funny Family Guy cutaway.

Universal Studios Japan

I don’t normally care for big theme parks like Disneyland or Universal Studios. When anime is involved, however…

Also: yes, I did spend time at Super Nintendo World. Photos coming soon!

Peter Griffin Sings “The Rose”

I’d probably say this cover is better than the original. Seth MacFarlane is a man of many beautiful voices.
