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!

MND

It's Monday.

 Honestly, Mondays are one of my favorite days.  There are lots of reasons I typically enjoy Mondays, but one of the best is Monday Night Dinner (MND).  MND is a long-standing tradition at ChezMK where Miranda and I host 10-15 of our closest friends for an evening of dinner and fun.  I think we've been doing it for something like four years, just about every Monday night with very few exceptions.

 I love traditions like this because it's one of the reasons our group of friends feels more like a family.  We watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy and see how many questions we can get right.  We try a bunch of different kinds of food but have a few favorites that we keep coming back to.  The evening activities vary...trivia night, a TV show, Monday Night Football, games, just chatting and hanging out.

 We've seen wonderful friends join the MND crew, and sadly, we've seen some move away.  I think we've even had up to 18 people on a Monday night.  And if you've ever seen ChezMK, it is certainly should not be able to fit that many people, but we make a way, and we make it fun.

 I love all the memories ChezMK holds, but the ones made at MND are some of my favorites.  

 Love. my. friends.  
This was a special, birthday edition of MND a couple years ago when we went out instead of eating at home, but it's still most of the crew and some of my most favorite people.
