New Addition to the Family

May I introduce to you a new addition to our family, Josias Christopher Harvey.

After a difficult name search (finding a unique name and that sounds good in Spanish and English), we finally compromised on a name that took time to grow on us. But we are loving it more each day. It just fits, thankfully. [...]

Round of Golf, Earthquake, Pops in KY

Early this morning we were awakened by an earthquake (I guess my dad brought it with him, along with the great weather). I believe this was the first experience for my wife as well. But we were all ok and my dad and I were still on to hit the golf links today.
We didn’t play [...]

T4G Conference

This week I am going with my dad to the 2008 T4G Conference here in Louisville.
Speakers that I am looking forward to hear are CJ Mahaney, John Piper, and Thabiti Anyabwile.
Additional highlights for the week will include playing golf with my dad (there are not many occasions, these days, that when my dad and I [...]

2nd Year Anniversary

For some, the first of April is known as “April Fools Day” (and believe me, almost everyone we talk to reminds us). But for my wife and I, April 1st is our Wedding Anniversary.
Why April 1st?

It fit with our schedules (weekend before spring break, thus time for honeymoon).
Was hoping for the winter, but sooner [...]

Happy Birthday Arelis

February 12, 1982, my wife was born in Venezuela. At the age of 9, she moved with her family to Kentucky. She is along way from her home country, and only time will tell where our next stop will be, but she continues her life journey with anticipation.
A few weeks ago I promised my [...]

Things to do in 08

Here is my list of things (goals, priorities, interests) to do in 2008 (in no particular order):

New blogs. Yeah…that’s right, blogs in the plural is not a typo. I don’t know if it’s a cultural influence thing or just natural, but I like variety, and it’s time to change/upgrade this blog. I have already [...]

Direction, Dream Job, and Education

Ever since I left California in January 2004, to come to Kentucky, I have been praying about purpose and direction in the present and for the future.
For the past six months, as graduation was approaching quickly, I have been actively seeking a job. My dream job is to serve the local church in all areas [...]

Graduation 07

Graduation finally came this past weekend and we all had a great time. It was fun to get to share this moment in my life with family and friends. Arelis’ dad made the trip, as you can see in this photo.
Unfortunately, Jeremy Deering had “airplane issues” and couldn’t make in time for the ceremony, but [...]

My Opa Died Today

Just a few hours ago my Opa passed on and was ready to “see his God,” as he told me the last time I talked to him on the phone.
He is in a better place and suffering no more because of his faith in Christ, the one who suffered for my Opa before he was [...]

Bitter Sweet Emotions

This is how I am feeling right about now:
Sweet: I just finished all of my final exams (in my last semester).
Bitter: I don’t have a job yet (other than my current part-timer).
Sweet: My family and good friend are coming out for graduation.
Bitter: My grandfather (Opa) is on his death bed with cancer.
Sweet: Going to [...]
