Life is so unreal sometimes. I feel like I'm in some incredible dream. Without that annoying alarm to mess it all up. Just when I think things have gotten as good as they can get — which happens quite often — they just get better.

I'll be perfectly honest and say that I don't write - publicly - about 80% of what happens out here. No matter how much I explained it and how much I wrote about it there is no doubt in my mind that it would be misinterpreted. You can take the little controversial bits of what I write and multiply it by ten and that might come close to what you don't get to read.

But what I will tell you is something pretty awesome. On Easter Sunday I was given the chance to lead worship and teach in the Korean church I go to. There is a Korean teacher I work with that plays piano very well, she actually plays there every week. I was surprised by how good she is! I've only played with maybe two or three people who can really pick things up and sound good. She's the third. As for teaching, apparently the pastor liked it because he asked if he could put me on a regular rotation with a couple other pastors.

Work is a bit crazy. Don't get me wrong I love my students, but sometimes they cross a line. This week I've cracked down a bit. They don't like it. Then there is the administration — which is completely ridiculous. They told all of us today that we need to turn in a class schedule for the entire year by the end of the week! That gives me three days to create five different lesson plans for the whole year. On top of my regular lesson planning, teaching, and wild partying.

So there's 20% of my life over the last week. Take it for what it's worth.

Go read about Tibet on CNN.

Then pray.

    The most amazing thing is thinking everything is perfect, and realizing that it just gets better from here :)

    I'm glad you're playing on a worship team! You were always one of my favorite worship leaders.

    I love you mark
