Life at TCJ

Work Hard Play Hard sleep it off and back for more ...Rehab in TCJ is quite different from that of other known programs...TCJ loves to take it to the extrem

with that in all areas of daily living...from one extrem to the other. from negetive to positive ...from dirty to clean...no hope to all hope...there is nothing to extrem for us when we think about all the crazy things we use to do so why not live in extrem in Christ...

Born Again

My favorite jump point in the chubu area...Kadena Marina.

I love taking the boys out for a swim...every opportunity we get we hit the kadena marina for a born again experience...The boy's me included take a leap of faith and into the deep blue as if to signify a death to the past and a rebirth into the future...
