Miscelaneous Thoughts for the Day

It is Monday...as the commercials have said lately "Hold on...you're one Monday closer to Monday Night Football." Fall is definitely here. It seems like just yesterday that summer was almost here and I had these great aspirations of things that I wanted to accomplish this summer but now I am loking back and shockingly very few of those things were accomplished. I love fall...fall means that college gameday is back on ESPN it also means that my Saturdays will be spent wathcing football and my sundays watching saturday's highlight reels. I have a renewed interest int he NFL this year. I had lost interest over the past 5 - 7 years. I started my own fantasy football league. We just drafted this morning. I have a dream team of players and hopefully someone will pull through for me.
I have names like Eli Manning, Steven Jackson, Shaun Alexander, Willy Parker, Julius Jones, Hines Ward and Donovann McNabb just to name a few.
Thank God this week will dead end into a 3-day weekend. I need the rest that comes with doing nothing!
I am gogin to do my best tp update this blog more often in the coming months...so that everyone can keep up with what is goign on in the life of someone you really don't know or care about! :-)

Seattle Public Market!

Another beautiful day in Seattle! I love the northwest

The Move

If you are reading this and you hear me within the next two years even breathe a word about moving please kick me in the head as hard as you can. I think that would be less painless than moving.
I spent Thursday through Sunday morning moving, then went off to church Sunday afternoon and passed out for the rest of the evening shortly after having some dinner Sunday evening. I think it will take me a month to recover from all of that.
However, I am excited to be in our new home. I stumbled around for an hour this morning trying to remeber which box I stashed my tooth brush in and what box my wife hid all my socks in. It will probably take us another month or two of unpacking before we are done and settled in.
I also want to with a Happy Birthday (belated) to my mother-in-law and also to my bro-in-law Caleb.

Washington District Youth Camp 2006

I had the privilige of speaking to a group of young people on Wednesday morning at Washington District Youth Camp. What a time we had. The Holy Ghost led me to a portion of scripture in I Samuel 8 reagrding the children of Israel wanting a King like other nations. GOd instructed Samuel to Protest to the people regarding their desire...from that portion of scripture the Lord inspired a message which I preached entitled "It Is Time To Protest". I preached from a burden and young people responded. I challenged them that in the face of adversity, even when you feel like you are the only one standing for what you know is right...keep on fighting. I challenged them to get the spirit of a protester! I had a lot of fun. Thank you WA youth for your response to the word of God and Youth Committee for the opportunity.

I am wrapping up a busy week. We will begin moving into our new home this weekend. I promise to have pics posted by Monday.
Until I get the time to write again...Keep fighting for what you know to be truth
