Hansel, So Hot Right Now
The one and only comment, thus far, on this post recognized the title from the get go. "Hansel, so hot right now." The comment naturally asked the question is this a reference and if so, why? Well to answer that is getting into a big bag of worms I feel like. Yes, it is a reference, two because I love my life, my friends, my family, and the place where God has placed me and the city I am in. This past weekend I went to a party at my friend Rob's house called "Eastoberfest." There, we dyed Easter eggs, colored pictures with crayons, played memory, watched the Masters and Sox game, and drank Corona while chilling with friends who are all eating a plethora of food, great food! - does it get any better than that? In the evite to the party (evites are the invitation of choice in Boston by the way) the yes box was titled, Hansel, so hot right now and thus the title of the post as it was referenced yet again at the party. The next day I ventured to church, picking up my buddy Matt on the way. You may notice I don't discuss spiritual matters in great depth too much, I suppose a lot of times I feel much of what I might say is just meaningless God chattering...and most of the issues I discuss with people are either so basic or so complicatedly complex (like that?) it's too much for a single post, or many posts as many of the conversations continue. Anyway, I went off to Citylife and then afterward my friend Carrie and I caught up with Mike and Kendra for an afternoon Prayer meeting in south Boston. It was awesome! Very moving, cold, but moving. It was just good to pray with people openly, honestly, and of different races and places in life than myself - it was powerful and I felt incredibly small in a world much bigger than myself. For once in a long time I realized who was in control of things...and that life is much more brilliant than once imagined, but much more real and difficult as well. My basic point is this - my life is richly blessed with an abundance of great relationships and my life is simply this, life. Everywhere I turn as I look around, I see blessing and I am thankful. I'm excited for the days ahead and I look back on the days behind with thankful memory, both for the joy and the pain. May the lingering hopes of memories long gone, and the joy of laughter in the present, keep each of you warm as God showers his peace down on us from afar.

Is that a reference to Zoolander? why?
I finally am visiting your site... You're going to have to show me how to do all this pic stuff! I wish I were so cool. And, I must say, that the Zoolander reference is always appropriate. Good seeing you at church Sunday.
