Lately I have been wondering about eternity... I constantly ask my self, what will we be like, or whom will we look like? I studied the word more and more. I prayed more and more asking God for a revelation! It says in Genesis that God created man in his image... but what does that mean??
On my recent trip to Sacramento California I stopped at one of my dearest friends home. When morning came, as usual I woke up, prayed, read the word, and spent some time with God but I did not know what God was going to reveal to me today.
As the whole family gathered together, we sat down to read the Bible, and since I was the guest I had the honor of opening and reading my favorite passage. I love to serve, and evangelize to people, so one of my favorite spots in the Bible was 1st John 3:16. It talks about, how since Christ has laid down his life for us so should we lay our life down for our brothers...
And so I began to read the entire chapter, until I got to those verses. In the very end I explained why that was my favorite passage. After I finished, the father of the family asked me one question, "Do you understand everything that you have just read?"
As usually I said, "Of course!" Then he proceeded to pointing out a verses that I believe almost every christian does not notice while reading the passage. It was 1st John 3:2. In that verse John states that we are the children of God, and that we do not know what we will be, but when will know we will be like him.
At first I did not understand what he was trying to point out... I just kept reading it over and over, and then it hit me!!
I quickly opened up Revelation 1. Right then and there God revealed the answer to my question. In Revelation 1 John writes to the seven churches and describes Jesus Christ the way he saw him when he appeared before him. I was awe of what God had revealed to me!! Now, I know for a fact that when we will be in eternity we will look like Him!!! We will look exactly like what John described in his gospel. Beautiful, gorgeous, and wonderful just as our Lord Jesus Christ!!
Many times we read the Word and don't notice simple verses, just like the one that I skimmed over. God is constantly speaking and trying to reveal his beautiful truths to us. All we have to do is read his Word, and carefully listen to his soft voice that speaks to his children daily! Be blessed!

Богоискание Славянских Народов Documentary Shoot
This past weekend Alex Shevchenko invited me to go and shoot a documentary with their media team from House of Bread Church. This new documentary tells the story of how christianity came to the Slavic nations. Recently I've had the chance to watch the first episode of the film. I was in awe of the intense creativity and content that was being presented in the film. This really made want to go and take part in the creation of the next episode.
Arriving at the site where the shooting was going to take place, was a big eye opener for my self. It was taking place at an old Russian settlement or fortress, on the shores of the pacific ocean in Sonoma county California. The scenery on the other side of the country was very stunning and beautiful.
Through out the entire day we had to film about 50 scenes of the film. Physically it was very over whelming, but to me that didn't really matter because I was given the chance to work with professionals. Most of the time I was the PA setting scenes up, tearing down, hauling equipment, and sometimes helping out with finding the right shots.
Personally I love learning any where and everywhere. Working in the studio for most of the time back in MN, this trip gave me a huge insight on production life outside of the studio. Over all this was a blessed trip, and I am very thankful to the ministry of Aleksander Shevchenko for giving me the opportunity to go out and help, learn, and get a bigger insight on production life. I am already planning my next trip over and excited for new opportunities coming up in the next year.

| VACATE |
Film has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Recently God has been showing me way to minister to people of different ages using media. The society that we live in today is built on a fact that everything has to be quick and interesting. I got an idea... What if I make short-films that have no voice over. This will allow the audience to watch the film and decide for themselves what it is talking about. Off course every film has a creators point of view. My films are solely based on Christian morals and ideas.
Here is my first film, and it is called | Vacate |. As I was walking downtown Minneapolis MN, I saw a very interesting place or town. But this was no ordinary town, it was abandoned. It used to be a railroad station with stores and apartment buildings, but now it was all left alone. I decided to capture the feeling of an abandoned place and share it with you. What do you think, what does it remind you of? I would be glad to hear. Leave some feed back in the comments below. God Bless!

Boeing 777 Crash in San Francisco Airport!
On July 6, 2013 Boeing 777 Asiana flight from Korea crashed while landing at San Francisco Intl. airport. The plane took off from Seoul, South Korea, and was heading toward the San Francisco Intl. airport when it didn't make it to the landing strip. 10 passengers were critically injured and others ,jumped down the emergency inflatable slides to safety as flames tore through the isles of the plane.
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) stated Flight 214 crashed while landing at 11:36 a.m. PDT. Television footage revealed that the top of the fuselage was burnt away and the tail of the aircraft was torn off. It is not clear yet what exactly happened to the plane but eye witnesses said the airplane seemed to have lost control and the tail might have hit the ground.
Stephanie Turner, Kate Belding, and Doug Yakel were some of the eyewitnesses of this terrifying event. Stephanie Turner stated in the article Asiana Airlines Plane Crashes At San Francisco by Terry Collins, when she first saw the flight she noticed right away that the angle of its approach seemed strange.
"I mean we were sure that we had just seen a lot of people die. It was awful," she said.
Kate Belding was out jogging just before 11:30 a.m. on a path the water from the airport when she noticed the plane approaching the runway in a way that "just didn't look like it was coming in quite right." Stated Terry Collins in his article, Asiana Airlines Plane Crashes At San Francisco.
Kate Belding was out jogging just before 11:30 a.m. on a path the water from the airport when she noticed the plane approaching the runway in a way that "just didn't look like it was coming in quite right." Stated Terry Collins in his article, Asiana Airlines Plane Crashes At San Francisco.
"Then all of a sudden I saw what looked like a cloud of dirt puffing up and then there was a big bang and it kind of looked like the plane maybe bounced (as it neared the ground)," she said. "I couldn't really tell what happened, but you saw the wings going up and (in) a weird angle."
"And it looked like the plane had completely broken apart. There were flames and smoke just billowing."
"Not like it was cartwheeling," she said, but rather as though the wings were almost swaying from side to side.
Doug Yakel a spokesman for the San Francisco airport said they didnt know how many passengers were aboard the Boeing 777. "We also don't have any information at this time to the status of those passengers," he said at a brief news conference.
The aircraft Asiana 777 "was right at the landing phase and for whatever reason the landing went wrong," said Waldock, director of the Embry-Riddle University, accident investigation laboratory in Prescott, Ariz. "For whatever reason, they appeared to go low on approach and then the airplane pitched up suddenly to an extreme attitude, which could have been the pilots trying to keep it out of the ground." What ever went wrong with the landing surly had a huge effect on the end result.
When looking at this tragic event we can realize that events such as these will always be happening if not in the air then on the ground or at sea. We as humans can do nothing to prevent it but Jesus Christ the Son of God will always be there to answer any prayers and needs. God Bless!
