Went to the mariners game tonight with Kathy and Kelly and Takeshi. Good times.


So I’m sitting in one of my favorite coffee shops and it looks like autumn outside. If you told me it would be this rainy last week i would have laughed at you. It was so hot. I love the rain so it’s all good.
So a cable company back east is brilliant. Instead of sending multiple deliquency notices to customers they just switch their cable to all TBN – all the time – all the channels. read more here.
Hey Everybody,
I had the privilege to preach this past Sunday at Creekside Church. You can listen and subscribe to the podcast here. I received good feedback about this sermon, and I had a good time. I talked about team Jesus. It was good times I hope you like it.
I love summer camp! It’s always such a refreshing time to get away and connect with Jesus and students. I hate to be selfish but I really like to go to camp because I know that I can encounter Jesus personally there. And I hope students do as well. But I really felt like Jesus was among us and he was talking to my heart all week. It was wonderful. I will be posting pictures soon on the >>beyondsite>>.
I was greatly encouraged by saturday night as we gathered together as a group and shared what God was talking to us about, and prayed and encouraged each other. Three camps ago we had a larger group but not nearly as much depth. I think we were still in the get to know the youth pastor stage. And that’s totally normal. This year however there was great discussion about Jesus working through us, being humble and letting go of pride and distrust. It was incredible. Jesus is moving. And I know that I personally need to stay connected to Jesus.
I really felt like Jesus was saying to me over and over again that he wants me to be a good Christian before anything else. And as I stay connected to Jesus he will continue to build the church. He will build the church. People will follow me as I follow after Jesus.
My prayer leaving camp is that we can continue this positive momentum. That we can all stay connected to Jesus and that we can pass on our faith to those who weren’t there at camp. That we can lead them closer to Jesus.
So those are some camp reflections. I had to get them written down so I wouldn’t forget. There was a lot that God was doing so if I’ve missed something then i will continue to reflect. But I would love to have your prayers for our students and our ministry and for me as a leader and a christian.
So I know I made the right decision in my love for the Nintendo Wii. They just announced some ninja games and accessories at the e3 conference. Hope over to nintendo.com to check them out.
Kathy decided that I was worthy of spending the rest of my life with her. We were married on a beautiful Saturday in Bothell, WA and we have been enjoying the adventure ever since. She’s the best wife, mom, and friend I could ever ask for. God has blessed me richly and I can’t thank him enough for Kathy.

Actually we are going out of town but you know what I’m saying. We are leaving for camp tomorrow at Daroga State Park. I am really excited for this coming time at camp. It’s great for the students to connect with Jesus, but Camp is always a refreshing time for me to worship, fellowship and enjoy the Creation of Jesus.
I would ask that you all would take some time to pray for our trip this week. Pray for safety, fun, relationships, and of course students to connect with Jesus, both from our church and from the churches that will be joining us.
