Long time... no hear
I am getting a little bit of grief :) from some of the high school students around here because we are not going to be going on Xcursion this summer. Believe me... there is more to life than waterskiing, wakeboarding, and pigs in space (it is hard to believe we may never play that game again...)
However, there might be something coming. Here are my thoughts on possibilities to replace Xcursion... Some hints for those of you looking for hints. I will put this in a poem:
Rain falls from the sky, yet hits nothing.
Only the deer you read about really pant for water.
All one has to do is dream, if you want your dream to come true.
Dreams are like movies and memories are songs about those.
Random acts can be kind and mean.
Another way to see is by closing your eyes.
Go as fast or slow as you can and you will still get there.
Every time you read this, another minute passes.
Maybe you will get it, maybe you won't. Details are not far away...

CORE Party
These are pictures from our CORE Team Christmas party. The CORE Team is a team of high school students at Calvary Church who have committed themselve to leading our student ministry by being a sounding board for all that goes on. These young men and women are the heartbeat and nexus of our ministry and without them, their dedication, work, and ministry to their friends, our ministry would be in trouble.
For the Christmas party this year, they decided they wanted to be cool so they put a "cool" theme to the night. You can see from the pictures how they interpret what it means to look cool. Okay, actually the theme was "nerd" night. The problem is that some of them look pretty natural this way.
You notice that there are no pictures of me... I arrived late and I don't have any clothes that make me look like a nerd. However, if you are looking for the 80's hair band look (no comments), I am all over that, having kept many of my clothes from that era. Parachute pants never looked so good on a dude. They are a little tight now though....

Here are some pictures from the Christmas Musical. I hope you enjoy them. I think Emma has found a niche in life. She is very good at this theater thingy.... I am a proud daddy! Sadie is very good as well, Sadie happens to be good at just about everything she tries. (Ask her to play piano for you sometime.....) I hope you enjoy the pictures.



Pretty cute kids....
This has been an unusually harsh end of the Fall here in the Midwest. This is more snow for more time than I think I have ever seen. I will admit, when we first moved here, seeing snow was cool. After living here for a while, it is not so cool. It does help me understand why people make you take your shoes off at the door. You don't want to get water all over the house from the bottom of your shoes (melting snow). I have told many of my friends here to give me 3 weeks of clammy drizzle, no sun, and 40 degrees over 3 weeks of sun and a temp of 10 degrees with the wind chill of 10 below. It is so cold sometimes my bejeebers fall off.
However it is quite beautiful. Here are a couple of the pictures from around my yard..



Ohhhh winter.
Just as a side note, I will be in Portland on Jan. 3rd and then sometime around the 10th to the thirteenth (depending on how long my mom needs me to help her with her move). If you are in PDX and want to get together, let me know if not.... enjoy the blog.
