2005, I will have to say, was a somewhat eventful year. Honestly, I can’t remember one news thing that happened this year, save New Orleans getting blown off the map. But 2005, all in all, was a good year. It was a year of growing. It was a year of liberation. It was a year of meaning.

In 2005, there was:
- the launching of georgechang.net
- the landing of a time-consuming but sadly missed job
- the inauguration of george’s annual restaurant list
- the farewell of michelle and the embracing of misha
- the leaving of the previously mentioned job
- the beginning of the full time training
- the move of self-liberation
- the firm stance of my life and the priorities in it
- the blessing of a great campus team
- the expansion of my vision
- the exposing of my pitiful self
- the dealings of my heart
- the joys of serving the brothers and sisters
- the ongoing concern for brother dave
- the unhindered encouragement from brother dave
- the realization that i really am in the best place
- the appreciation of the constant life and light
- the living of ordinary days under the divine dispensing
- the use of my pda on a daily basis
- the death of my camera
- the capture of hundreds of memories on digital film
- the luck of giving a sister with an amazing singing voice a ride to the campus
- the falling asleep to amazing piano playing
- the emptying of many many dollars worth of starbucks gift cards
- the spending of perhaps even more dollars on whimsical cravings with my team
- the surprise of the numbers getting smaller on the scale
- the end of an 11 year long problem
- the creating of more problems
- the labor of love, the work of faith, and the endurance of hope that will have eternal value
