New York

I got to spend some time in the city recently with some friends and with some Jesus. Sorry for the delay in posting-I'm working off a beautiful new mac alongside new photo-editing software. This lovely new change allows me to sit in front of the computer for hours and hours in confusion.
I was working for an organization called Citivision, helping lead a youth team of about thirty kids around the city. The best way to describe what it does is to watch this video which was made right before I arrived.
This week was filled with so much love, old love affirmed and new found love which I still stay in touch with daily. It's a city with so much superfluous wonder, pain, brokeness and love it's often hard to explain to others why I feel so drawn to it.

The Murphy Clan

Last Sunday I got to spend some time with four generations of the Murphy family! Karen emailed me and we met up at Alhambre Hall. She was such a large help in directing the family and keeping things under control-thanks Karen!
