i went for a long hike the other day with this great guy i met via a youth ministry - it was a long hike, about 18 miles - but it was a blast. we shared, talked, and got to see inside the heart of each others ministry. i was excited about all the possibilities - and then something from God happened - it was great

well, it has been a while - and all i can say is that i have been blessed a million times over - my lack of writing is not due to my pains, but my joys :) God has blessed me in many ways - he renewed my heart, allowing me to see a deeper side of myself and my faith - very cool. he has blessed me the heart of another - and that is the greatest earthly joy i can think of.

i will be blogging more as time moves on - and these joys are procesed :) rest assured, out of all the pain comes great joy - :)

check out ginkworld.net and look at the foto-page - some new pics of me :) as if you asked for them :)

be in peace

wow - for a guy who said he would post more often, i sure let the ball drop on that one :) please forgive me - but all seems to be getting a bit even in my life now - so, here i go again - a little insite :)

being new to cal - "nor-cal" for all you locals :) - i have been finding this election stuff pretty funny - i mean, a hooker, a child star, a drug dealer, the taco bell dog and a elderly lady with no teeth - my vote goes with the hooker - at least she's honest :) but we now have "gov arnie" - i guess the only cool thing about it is we have the coolest gov in the u.s. :) come on, admit it - our gov can kick your gov's butt :)
