How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son. Ephesians 1:3-6

I enjoy cycling, radio controlled hobbies, woodworking, live theatre, drawing, hockey, and collecting family memories – boogie boarding, snowboarding, sailing, and rafting. For the past few years I have helped kids enjoy riding bikes in Redlands and my family has volunteered at Big Lake Youth Camp coordinating the MTB Rad Camp, sharing area trails with kids near Bend, Oregon. Although the Northwest has been a special place for my family, I have also taken trips to Whistler, Canada, National Parks – Yosemite, Arches, Sedona, Moab, Lassen, Washington DC, California Beaches, Hawaii, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and a Mission trip to Kenya, Africa. Some of my most special times are sharing nature riding along white water rivers with family and friends or looking up at the stars in Central Oregon.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
