Keep it rollin'

Sorry it's been a while since my last post, it's been a busy week as usual. I had a great time at graduation with my parents and enjoyed lots of great food and really enjoyed doing the things we loved doing so much when everyone else lived here. It was a great time, and a real blessing to have them out for my Graduation! We headed up the coast after grad and spent a few days and night exploring the sights smells and tastes of Oregon. It was short but we sure did pack it in!

After our trip it was back to Eugene to hit the ground running with preparations for the summer college ministry here. I am fortunate enough to have the responsibility of running the ministry this summer with a few other great people. Our college pastor needs a break from the craziness that college life brings and lays low in the summer so I pretty much have free roam in the direction the ministry goes. We are changing things up quite a bit from the way summers have looked in the past. Meetings will come once a week at 6:00 on Wednesday evenings and we're serving a full meal family style around small tables. I'm arranging different speakers each night and they only get 15 minutes of time that occurs during the meal. Throughout the evening students will have some question time, discussions, and prayer opportunities. The program is designed to help students get a breath of air from their years and focus on highly relational relaxing challenge to move them closer to God. We are also working to bridge a gap between students and the larger church body and using lesser known people from the congregation to speak. I'm real excited to see how the summer plays out, maybe it will fail, but I'm praying that come September students are ready to head back to the challenging life of College, ready to live a life of Love for Christ.

I also have my job at Synergy Air in the afternoons this summer, and am looking forward to the work. I start in on a regular schedule on Monday morning. Unfortunately I also have to complete one more year of Spanish to get my diploma so my mornings consist of 2 hours of intensive Spanish from 8-10. Pray I pass I am not a natural :)

In order to get out to work I needed to get some wheels other than my bicycles. This Friday I found what I was looking for. I finally got my motorcycle I've dreamed about for 7 years. I picked up an '06 Yamaha FZ6 with only 1400 miles and in perfect shape. It sure is a blast, I already put 215 miles on it this weekend, and am really excited to finally get wind blown hair and bugs in my teeth... I'll get some better pictures up soon but for now this is the only one I have. Well that's all I have for now, I'm off to get ready for this crazy week and catch up on some much needed rest!
