How to Travel Light in a Heavy World: Wisdom and Worldly Success

I told myself in order to be successful, I had to be perfect.

But that was a lie. In order to be successful, I must be wise.

Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc, Friends) once said,

When the package is this pretty, no one cares what’s inside.

I know one person who cares.

His name is Jesus.

the getaway

With everything that’s been going on lately, we’ve been feeling like it was time for a small getaway. Since we couldn’t celebrate our wedding anniversary and Kenny’s birthday is coming up, I took my mother’s advice and “surprised” Kenny with going to Naples for two days. (Note: Next time, I must not use Kenny’s Priceline account or else he will find out through an email confirmation and the surprise will no longer be a surprise!)

day five: a fine beauty

Sunday was our last full day in the city and we wanted to take advantage of everything we could do that we hadn’t done yet. Sunday is also known for Sunday brunches so we took a friend’s suggestion and we gave Beauty & Essex a shot. Normally, we work on Sundays so brunches are a rarity for us. We were really looking forward to this because the menu that we looked at online seemed very well rounded and playful.

day one: late lunch at blt bar & grill

While waiting endlessly in the airport, we started planning our meals. Kenny really wanted to try one of the popular BLT restaurants, except BLT Steak because he’s been there before. We discussed many other suggestions, but our transportation was taking so long that we thought we’d be lucky if we made it to dinner. Previously, we had discussed going to Gramercy Tavern for lunch and Del Posto for dinner.

Psalm 22: From My Mother’s Womb…

Originally posted on From Friends:
Lately, I’ve been inspired by the devotionals given at work.  Each week servers at The Grill (a restaurant at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale) are assigned a psalm, and we must come up with a 5 minute or so devotional sharing what God’s been doing in our life.  This was mine…
