Great Day To Be A Duck Fan

WOW WOW WOW is all I can say. Saturday was one of those days that made you proud to be a Duck fan. I can think of a few other great moments...the Colorado Buffalo thrashing that took place in the Fiesta Bowl a few years ago and Michigan's visit to Autzen just two short years later! These were all great days to be a duck. None made me as proud as Saturday though. I have not seen a QB at Oregon operate an offense with the poise that I saw Dennis Dixon demonstrate on Saturday. In spite of the fact he threw two picks and two crucial points in the game he never gave up or lost his touch when it was time to orchestrate a comeback win scoring 14 un-answered points in less thatn 20 seconds! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! All of you reading this who have a Heisman vote...better scratch Brady Quinn...make room ESPN for Mr. Dixon!

GO DUCKS!!!!

It Has Been A While

Almost two weeks since my last post. My apologies to my faithful readers and all others who don't give a rip. I am not quite as faithful as my friend Eli. He is the ultimate blogger. Someday I will be as faithful as he.
It has been a busy couple of weeks. A Night Of Praise was a huge success...hundreds of people showed for that event. The presence of God was there and it was definitely an aptmosphere of worship and praise. After that I just kicked back for the whole weekend. I think I watched college football the entire day.
We are now in preparation for Purpose Institute which starts tomorrow. I am teaching a class in that college study "Into to the Word of GOd." I am really looking forward to these classes. If you live in Washington State and have yet to register and desire to attend PI please do so immediately!
I have promised a millioin times that I would put pics of our new home up as soon as I got them. Well I got home early the other day and ran outsie with my camera and took some pics.
God has really blessed. This is a brand new custom built home. Three bedroom, two and a half bath 2,000 sf home. Thank you again to all of those who have helped us move.
I will get more pics of the back and interior as soon as my wife will allow. Enjoy the pics, and I promise to post more often as fall and winter arrive.

Blessings...

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

My Beautiful Wife

Another Weekend...Come and Gone

WOW...What a weekend. It all started Friday when I took a train ride to OR to hook up with the rest of my family. My parents, wife and sisters were all there on Thursday for Oregon Camp Meeting.
I hooked up with everyone on Friday afternoon and had a great time Friday night. I had the privilige of connecting once again with Jake Palma from Merced, CA. We originally met when he played with the band Finding Jerimiah. It was good to see old friends, although I missed getting to see my friend Eli andhis wife.
Once we go back to my parents house on Sat it was a wild weekend...We mainly just hung out, but there were plenty of laughs to go around.
Not sure my Mom knew what we were laughing about most of the time, but sometimes it was about things that she was saying (parents sometimes say things that are so funny, but don't know it).
Along with Rachel's "Sometimes I" one liners...we sat around and talked then watched a movie or two. What a weekend.

They (my parents Kim and Rachel) are all coming to my house this weekend.
I wil also be busy over the next month or so with moving into our new home which I have yet to post pictures of.

Already Mid-Week?

Man it seem slike just yesterday that I planned to post something on Saturday. We had a wonderful meeting on Fri night in Kirkland. The Tingleys were great host and put on a wonderful service (the sweet tea and nachos afterward were the best). God moved a gret way and the young people responded to the word.
It seemed as though everyone is attendance came with an expectancy in their spirits.

The weekend was not long enough. I had a good one though. My wife and I who rarely get to see each other during teh week were able to be together the entire weekend with no interuptions.

It appears as though we may have found a home this weekend. I will post some pics of it in a seperate post.

Thank God the week is almost over...

Arthur W. Pink

What an amazing guy...

I am currently reading his book Elijah.

I just purchased Elisha, His Life and Miracles.

I spent most of last year reading Gleanings in Exodus. This book inspired me to read more of his works and also influenced several messages that I preached throughout the year.

Good stuff in most of his books...would suggest to any preacher looking for reading material.

REMIX

I will be speaking to a group of young people tomorrow night at a Youth Rally in Kirkland, WA. For all of you in western Washington State...Come out and support the Tingleys!!! (sp) There are great people, and we are going to have a good time.

Will post a little about this service later.

Thanks to Eli

I now have a site meter...

I don't think blogger updates their counter very often. This got frustrating to me so I decided to find my own. That is where Eli came in.

Thanks again man.

Tribute to my Parents
