Baptism




Today was a day of baptism. People streamed forward in an outward sign of an inward change. Not to be hidden behind closed doors or meaningless rituals. But an unashamed, open, glorifying testament to 3000 people, and a display of a love for the true Savior!!!! Congratulations Shelby, we love you.

Wake Boarding with the Boys




What makes a morning good??? I know. A good boat. Guys that want to ski. And flat, glassy water as far as the eye can see!!! We literally had the whole lake to ourselves for an hour and a half this morning. Not another soul!!! Wake boarding, cutting, jumping, flipping. Awesome morning. . . Now it's time for coffee!!!

And Evening At The Station








Even in the midst of a job that can be quiet one minute, then fast-paced and near out of control the next, it is good to have a time relaxing and camaraderie. These are the guys I work with, the guys I live with, the guys I fight fires with, and the guys I risk with. An evening of brevity is always welcome (and S'mores)

I'm curious to know what things you can bake at 121 degrees, besides me, Cindy and 400 JR high and High schoolers!!!!!!!!

Lake Havasu



Cindy and I had the opportunity to serve as staff on a high school/junior high church trip. Compass Bible Church in Dana Point took 400 kids to lake Havasu for fun, sun and water sports. Definitely hard work but it was fun watching kids learn to wake- board, get thrown off of inner tubes, play camp games in 110 degree weather, knee board, wake-skate and a ton of other activities.


But one of the greatest joys was watching youth delve deeper into their relationship to Jesus Christ and the Word of God. This is what camp is truly about.

The Jump




I have been wake boarding for many years and I have always been know to push the envelope. Cindy tells me that one of these days I am going to have to slow down but I don't think that it is going to be any time soon. Last week we were gone to a high school church camp and while I had my boat there, I had the opportunity to board behind one of the larger boats with a huge wake, and I mean huge!!!!

One of these days in will land this invert. But for now I just have to be content with almost a full rotation, bruised ribs, and a picture of me half way around. . . . Someday!!!
