Last weekend we were in South Western Pennsylvania at Roaring Knob MX track. CMA members have been doing a great job at this track and invited us up for a special weekend. We stayed on site in a 5th-wheel type RV and enjoyed it very much. (all except for the the tornado type winds and rains that literally rocked the trailer back and forth. The highlight of this weekend was a Saturday Evening Special Activity time with racers and their families. We concluded that evening with a bike blessing and a good number of racers and parents joined us track side to pray and share for a few moments. It was one of those strange moments in the world when you have a second of calm and gentleness in the middle of all the madness that is a MX race. It was pretty cool and we are very thankful that God has given us this very unique opportunity.

News from Sterling College
Last week we had a fantastic time beginning something completely new for CMA. We have begun a partnership with Sterling College, Sterling Kansas. There are many facets to this deal and we are very excited to be on the ride. The kick-off was a two day event on the campus centered around a chapel service for the entire student body. Check out this link for more information. I will post some pictures from the event as soon as I get them off the cameras.

Getting back down to earth
The summer has been fantastic. I really can't believe all that has transpired and all the miles that we have covered. We are really looking forward to being at home for the next few months and the coming rallies and events that will be happening here on Iron Mountain. I will make some sort of an attempt to catch back up on the blog. Lot's has been happening in our life, and as I look back on some of the most recent posts here I see that somethings have really moved on since last I wrote.

Getting to See My Brother
The past 4 weeks have been simply amazing. I can't begin to jot everything down here, but I have managed to log a bunch of new photos, so please check them out.
One of the highlights was being able to see my brother Joel, Melanie, his wife and their kids. Immediately the kids took up together like they see each other all the time. It was really awesome!

The Rocky Mountains
This is the view from the motel room in Westcliff Colorado during the Colorado State Rally. We really had a good time there in Colorado and the scenery was just majestic.
AMA Amatuer Nationals at Loretta Lynn's
We just finished with the Amateur Nationals at Loretta Lynn's in Tennessee. It was a good week of ministry and probably the most impactful outreach so far that we have been a part of. Check out more of the pictures by clicking on the racer.

The Park at The Mall of America
After spending almost a week in Canada, it was great to head south for Minneapolis. We loved going to the Mall of America so much a few years ago that we hit it again. The park was alot of fun and as always we completely got all of our money's worth out of that day of riding rides. We have a few days to catch our breath before the next weekend in Illinois. Should be fun!
Lake Superior
On our way to Canada, we spent a night in Duluth Minnesota. It was a really great spot. Click on this photo to see some pics from the Canal Park area there in Duluth. We had a fun time and hope to go back in the next few years.
CMA Youth Movement Mission Trip to Ecuador
This year's teen mission trip was fantastic. We had the best time ever. Most of the week was spent in Rio Negro a small little town in the cloud forest of the Andes Mountains. It was a very effective and enjoyable trip. There are a few pictures you might want to see. (Jennifer holding a large python for one.)
Kids in North Dakota
On the first weekend in June, we made a quick run up to North Dakota for the CMA North Dakota State Rally. It was a great time. We met up with some of our friends and had a good Saturday seeing some sights. This photo is of the kids at Theodore Roosevelt State Park. Check out the other photos, including a close up of a bison.
