MinistryMy work with Living Bread Ministries has given me some great opportunities, including the chance to travel to Brazil several times. Here we were visiting a community where Living Bread has planted a church and is working to help alleviate spiritual and physical poverty. Learn more about my ministry here.

HomeI love home. Spending time at home and making a house feel more like home are a couple of my most favorite things. The home I share with my friend Miranda is called ChezMK, and we love to have fun doing life there! Join the fun at ChezMK!

FamilyThe people who share my last name are the best! I am blessed with a wonderful family, even though we're seperated by several hundred miles most of the time. This is most of the Finch clan: Paul, Mom, Dad, Me, Yuri, and Peter. Not pictured here is my oldest brother Stephen and his family, Natacha and Alexandria. Check out more of our family fun!

FriendsI am spoiled beyond reason with such wonderful friends in my life! I have a great crew here where I live and a bunch of others peppered here, there, and everywhere. Here are a bunch of my local peeps at my birthday dinner last year! Jump in to the friend fun!

To say I'm an Olympics enthusiast may be an understatement.

This biannual meeting of the best athletes in the world may be one of my favorite couple weeks every couple years. This year's winter games in Sochi, Russia were no exception!

Before watching hours of skiing, ice skating, bobsledding (I mean bobsleighing), snowboarding, biathlon, ice dancing, and curling (we can't forget curling!) and tracking each medal won and each disappointing loss, we welcomed the games in typical ChezMK fashion!

Miranda and I threw a pretty sizable shindig for the Opening Ceremonies, more sizable than ChezMK can easily accommodate. Our par-tay was complete with themed snacks, photo backdrop, medals to win, a winter wonderland, Team USA pride, and lots of Olympic spirit. Check out some of the highlights!
