This photo was taken over 4 weeks ago. It has taken me this long to get around to posting it. This was the day that all of our craziness for the month of October started in earnest. As we posed for this shot, we were getting ready to head to church, where MUZZLELOADER lead worship that morning. That afternoon started the CMA Leadership Conference, where Jennifer and I lead worship. Both events were very good. We had a number of CMA Youth Movement Leaders at the conference and hosted a prayer and dessert meeting in our home one of the nights. I have posted some pictures of that evening. It was very awesome to have leaders from different states and countries. To be able to pray with them while they sat on our couch was quite an honor. We are constantly amazed at the opportunities that God gives us.
The truth is I wanted to post this shot, because I could not be any prouder of my two sons. They are doing so well in there school work, maintaining a soft heart before God and hopefully becoming people who know how to love. Many, many thanks to God for His working in their lives and mine. The last rally here on Iron Mountain was especially impactful for their lives. I can only imagine where God is wanting to take them.

McPherson Summer Travel 2006
Threw together a quick slide video of some of the pics from this summer. We took almost 1000 pictures in a few months. It's hard to decide which ones to share, but here are some of the interesting ones. Click here to watch the video.

Zoe's Pig Tails
OK, every once in a while it's just important to stop and look at your children. I did that today and I was amazed at what I saw. They are growing and changing at a rate that is almost impossible to keep up with. They learn more new words, complete more new thoughts, and connect more dots than you ever dreamed they could. It is really awesome to watch the progression in the photos that we have took over the last 3 years. We are incredibly blessed by God to have the family that we have. We don't really want to take it for granted.
Bike Blessing in Roaring Knob
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!
