Mens Camp Out

Boy, have I been neglecting this blog or what? Check out these sweet pix of our last men's/son's camp out in September!



So much fun - about 40 total guys/sons spent the night at our favorite hang out - the Sheffield's (awesomest hosts ever!) in La Cresta.



For those of you that don't know, we camp at an equestrian center next to their awesome pad and they allow to come over and use their property like a campground....complete with skatepark, basketball court, grass volleyball court (both lighted by the way for late night entertainment) and a shooting platform for clay pigeon shooting... We had an awesome time - special thanks go out to Rob Goodlett, Joe Geddes, Jim & Amber Sheffield, Tom Meyers and Chip Rawlings and to the rest of the gang that hung out and helped clean up the site before heading down the mountain to come home...
If you missed it, we will be doing it again so be on the look out for the next men's campout.

Jesus...its just that easy.

I changed jobs recently and am also attending Rockbridge Seminary furthering my education by obtaining a Masters in Ministry Leadership - along with Dillon playing baseball and McKenna doing Gymnastics Level 3 - we have much going on in our lives right now...

I have been taking a course on evangelism and have noticed some buzz words entering the ministry world like: organic, transparent, missional. It always amazes me that we need to try and put "new" labels on age old ideas. Is it so that we can seem smarter than everyone else or is it so that we can try and put a fresh spin on the Gospel?

It seems to me that if we continue to be disciples of Christ - which in my opinion is different than being or calling oneself a Christian or believer - we will continue to be organic, transparent and missional - because Jesus was the originator of all of these things. Let's keep it simple...
Dillon spotted this shirt the other day and we ended up buying it for him...Jesus, It's just that easy.
