Christmas Drip

 There was a photo booth for all the fancy Christmas clothes everyone was wearing.
I am sat next to my friend Caz from Kyrgyzstan.

Merry Christmas!

 It's Christmas time onboard! I was working 00:00am - 06:00am Christmas day. The only rational thing to do is catch and kill Santa. Mission accomplished. No Christmas next year...

 I'm only joking of course. This Christmas has been a really wonderful time, full of reflection and worship... for God came to earth, and this really is amazing.

I was able to celebrate a short Christmas party with engine. Here things got out of control...

Christmas Eve was a very formal event. Everyone dressed up dapper for the most festive family dinner yet. Of course, I rose to the occasion...

After Christmas Day service, it was time for photos on Deck 9. I tried to keep it low-key, but with Jotham, that is never really a possibility.
And of course, whats a Christmas celebration without some decorations? One of my cabin mates is an electrician. Oh yeah!

In all seriousness, Christmas is such a special time. Please take time out of the festive fun to consider why we celebrate, and how this can impact our own lives.

Merry Christmas!

Lebanon Arrival Photos

 While the Logos was arriving in Lebanon, our photographer took some photos of me. I thought I'd leave them here!

Graduation

 I am now officially a Watchkeeper!  A short while ago, I graduated with the rest of my engine class, and now I'm ready to serve as part of officially signed-on crew! My whole class passed. I'm so proud how we came together to help each other out and support one another during this journey!

Here I am receiving my gift from the Chief Engineer!

As part of engine, we have assigned teams we go on watch with. My team is called Rust-eze, which keen eyed CARS fans will spot is the official sponsor of Lightning McQueen. Here we are celebrating!

But of course, Engine is only one half of Marine Operations. Without the Deck Department, we would be like sitting ducks in the water. This graduation was also for them, and I'm so glad that we have this opportunity to work together for the glory of our Lord.
