Benham Falls
Here we are in Sunriver, enjoying the sun where it's actually cooler than Portland. Crazy! Here Larry, Patrick and I ride the trails to Benham Falls. It was pretty fun. We took the trail with many rocks, branches and hills on the way for a total of 12.2 miles. Thank goodness for mountain bikes and low gears!

It's gonna be a boy!
Many moments, big and small alike, have passed by since the last entry here on this blog. While I could go into excuses about why not, or promises on how this digital chronicler will be filled soon again...I won't.

March - June Recap
What a ride! I'm beginning to wonder if life ever stops changing and settles into a routine. I don't think it does, but it's sure been good overall. Here's a snapshot of the busy & life-changing past season.

Meeting Moses and getting AIDS: My Famine weekend
I spent a great weekend with the students and leaders of 180 fasting, praying, serving and worshipping during the 30 Hour Famine. Thank you to those of you who donated and prayed for us! So far, and the donations are still coming in, we raised over $2,000 which meets the needs for 6 children this year. Praise God!

30 Hour Famine
In just a few short hours, the students will begin to arrive for the 30 Hour Famine. We've already fasted for 4 hours and the hunger just began. I always dread the hunger, but the anticipation is the worst part. It makes me consider those in this world who don't know when that next meal will be on their plate. 30 hours is short compared to some the time others go without food.
I'm excited to fast with so many students who are raising funds for World Vision. I invite you to participate in giving alongside our students.
It should be a great weekend. I'll let you know how it goes!

Brian's 11 Years
Today was bittersweet. On the one hand, our student worship team rocked the house and I so enjoy using my gifts alongside them in worship. I also enjoyed playing one last time on a Sunday morning with Brian.
See, that was the bitter part. It's hard to let go and move past what I've come to know. Brian has been a friend, mentor, and a wonderful co-minister at church. There are many thing's that I'll miss.
But today we had a going away party for his family. I had the pleasure of creating the video for the occasion. So check it out and look back with me on 11 years of Brian's ministry at GPCC.

Adversity
We all face adversity…sometimes as inconsequential as on the playing field, sometimes it has to do with a relationship ending, or a parent, teacher or boss who you feel gives you a bit too much to do. The scale of adversity goes all the way up to sickness and when a friend or family member dies.
Adversity is tough or else we would call it a good time.
- Look beyond the now: James 1:2-4
You are going to grow. No athlete became good if they always thought about how hard practice was. Athletes persevere through tough times because they see that they are getting better and that winning down the road is the goal. - Serve God: Matthew 6:33
Don’t worry, keep on serving Jesus. Make it your first priority to be about what God is about and you won’t have to worry. - Obey God (Love Him!): John 14:15
Not just when it’s easy. Not cheating is pretty easy to do when you’ve studied for the test. But not cheating when it’s the final and your grade will determine if you pass or fail…that’s tough, but we still must obey in adversity.
