Living the Dream
Once upon a time (starting in 2010 and running for a little over a year) Ben put in a lot of hours on a blog named “Assume The Best.”
It chronicled his life as a full-time staff member of Campus Crusade for Christ, attempting to make light of and encourage specifically around the process of raising financial support.

Yesterday we cleaned out our house, with the exception of a few things in the garage that won’t fit in our new apartment (can’t find a closet big enough for my motorcycle) and have officially started the settling process in the new place.
That means, with any luck, this is the last post I have to write on my phone during my break at Starbucks–at least for a while.
Thanks for bearing with me during the transition.
