Here are a few pics of the kids that we took just before the craziness of the Rally. They are growing up very fast and we couldn't be any happier with them.

Blogging from the motorcycle

Tonight finds me near the Mexico border in south-south Texas. We are on the CMA Evangelist team building mission trip to assist CMA Mexico...translation: 4 days on Suzuki from Mena, Arkansas to Huatusco, Vera Cruz, Mexico.

This morning when I woke up in Waco, it was pouring rain. So I spent the first half of the day, complaining to myself and being scared. (I hate riding on the highway in the rain). White knuckles doesn't begin to describe it. But as life would seem to teach me, it doesn't always rain. And sure enough, around lunch it stopped. I don't think I can remember a time when I was so glad to see the sun. As I was thanking God for the rain subsiding, I began to shiver. Here I was, ripping down the highway in South Texas, and I am absolutely freezing. The gloves weren't exactly waterproof and wet hands with even the littlest cool temperature make for uncomfortable riding.

The rest of the day went very well, except for a minor arguement between us and our GPS units. We made it into Harlingen, TX really close to the Mexican border and we are spending the night and getting an early jump on it tomorrow. I am so glad to be on the way to Mexico again, even though I am still totally shot from the leadership conference and the Colors Rally. I am also already missing the kids and hate to be away from them. However, Jen and I are looking forward to spending some moments together in Huatusco and Vera Cruz, Mexico.

CMA Youth Movement Summer Fun 2007

Here is a quick video from some of the fun we had this summer with students in the CMA Youth Movement. Changing of the Colors is starting this weekend and we are very excited about alot of friends coming in for the event.

McPherson Clan Alive and Well

Despite all the rumors our clan is still kicking. In fact, kicking hard. God has helped us through a very busy month and blessed us with some really cool moments along the way. We have been heavily involved with school, dance, football, church and oh yeah, work. Still September brought more than a few smiles and good times. The band has been very busy and is playing 6 times this month so we are really enjoying that. We took some pub photos the other week. (real rock stars right?) Here are some pics from recent weeks.

Still on the road and having a great time. Here are some shots from Chicago, Michigan State Rally and a brief stay in Iowa. The funny stories behind some of these pictures are too funny and best told in person. Heading to Tennessee to the CMA National East Rally tommorrow and then off to Atlanta for a quick visit.

Fun in South Dakota

Here are a few quick pics from South Dakota. We are having an amazing time on our way to the next CMA rally. Mount Rushmore was very cool.

We are finishing up two weeks in Central Washington State. The CMA National West Rally was a huge success and we had a wonderful time in ministry to students and hanging out with friends. On Sunday we took a beautiful ride up to Grand Coulee Dam. It was really fun and we learned alot. There was a Laser Show at night (didn't hold a candle to Stone Mountain!) and then as we drove back to Moses Lake, the moon was shining brightly on the lakes. It was a sight that I won't soon forget. Here are some pics from the past few weeks. We are really enjoying our time on the road and the kids are having a great time. Getting to swim most days and hanging out with friends in CMA.

Pictures from Haiti and Dominican Republic

Here are a few quick pics from the recent CMA Youth Movement Mission Trip to Dominican Republic and Haiti. It was an incredible week and we absolutely enjoyed it. There was so much to do and see and so many people to interact with.

Zeke is very sick. He seems to have caught something there in Haiti. (Some of the children that we played with were sick.) We are praying for him and believing that He will get better really soon.

Had a really good time today at Lake Greeson for Memorial Day. It was a perfect afternoon and we rented a big party barge. Did a little fishing and did a little swimming, but mainly just had a great time on the water all together.

Recent Video Projects

Been really busy with the video editor recently. Check out some of the videos that I have been working on here at my youtube page. Psalm 136 is a Scripture project that we did at church. No video project would be complete without it's funny out takes. Jennifer and I have gotten involved with Abby's Dance Studio and have put together some videos for their recital this weekend. Below are some videos from that project. Abby is in Jazz 1 and Zoe is in Preballet
