A lot of change is going down in the blocks. The most major being shift being our beloved roommate and friend John Asher Adams, aka Craigers, aka Haiti boy, is heading east tomorrow morning on a road trip that will plant him in North Carolina for the summer and then most likely Virgina will be his habitat in the fall to pursue higher education. We’ll miss this kid after journeying with him for five years. And I personally look forward to staying in contact with him via hand written letters which we have pledged to write each other once a month or so.
So taking Johns spot for a month is a friend named Tiffany who just moved to Portland from New York. She is the niece of a beloved family friend of mine I know from my hometown of Zig Zag. So she is family. Tiff is transitioning to settling in Portland for a season and looking for a job and all that happy stuff. We look forward to making her feel at home, having our home have some feminine energy and maybe even getting some blog posts from her. She loves Jesus, likes nuns and has a coffee cup tattooed near her wrist from which she sips occasionally. She’ll most likely be with us short term.
Luis is going on a road trip across the country for two weeks starting next Wednesday. We can look forward to some quality pictures and some poems that will be inspired from his journey with two beloved friends, Ian and Tom.
Josh is going be traveling and visiting friends all over the map including; Virgina, Canada, New Orleans, and finally Florida to perform a wedding and put his internet bought pastors license to use and marry some bible college friends of ours. A recent enjoyment of mine has been applying generous amounts of aloe vera gel and lotion to his sun burnt back.
I have a nice bruise on my thigh from a fakie 50-50 to slip out and nail leg on the metal coping and slide down to the concrete bowl maneuver. It feels nice. Also some significant change that I’m stoked on is a new job that I’m starting Aug. 4th. I’m going to be a school success advocate through Open Meadows Alternative school and I’ll be working at Roosevelt high school with a group of 10 kids. I’ll be providing academic support and intervention, developing social and school success schools and helping to aid family relationships in this kids lives. Basically I’ll be pouring out some major love to some high school kids who need it. Did I mention I’m stoked on this job. So in this new season I’m saying good bye to my current employment at New Seasons Market. It wasn’t an easy decision to leave, its a great job, the people are beautiful, the benefits are great. I was thinking of staying on part time, but after struggling prayer, I hear God inviting me to deeper levels of trust and to pursue the passions he’s put on my heart as far as rhythms of prayer, intentional community and hip hop music. So this is little update on life in the blocks. the gospel is glorious.














So NBA league commissioner David Stern got his dream matchup - Boston Celtics vs. L.A. Lakers, a classic rivalry that summons the ghosts of some of the most storied NBA Finals series in league history. This will be the eleventh Finals meeting between the purple and green. Boston has won eight of the previous ten encounters.
