Wildhorse weekend

We got to take some high schoolers to Wildhorse Canyon, a Young Life camp in Eastern Oregon for a student discipleship weekend last month.



Even when its a camp I've never been to, there is something about going to a Young Life camp that feels like coming home. It's a place that I know I can trust. I can trust the message that students will here. I can trust the people working there to stop at nothing to make sure that everything is just right for kids to hear about and experience God.

And Wildhorse didn't disappoint. It is vast...to say the least. Here is the view of camp from the beast of a mountain that we climbed.



So even after losing feeling in my extremities after zip-lining into a lake, in Oregon, in late October I still had a great weekend. If you are reading this and we did Young life together at some point Kirsten and I miss you like crazy. So quit dragging your feet and freaking move to Oregon already so we can do ministry together again. We have a bedroom waiting for you (see previous video post).

The Great Pumpkin...

Ok, so here's the deal. we aren't terrible bloggers. We swear. We just can't find the cord that connects our camera to the computer. Lame, we know, but that's why we can't blog. So I was going to do a post about our pumpkin carving, which was so much fun in our new house! We carved a pumpkin that Dave and Sherry Grey grew!! A home grown pumpkin! How awesome is that!? And we were really pleased with the results! It is probably the silliest looking pumpkin face in the history of the world...but in an awesome way!

So hopefully we will get those pictures up soon, but until then I thought I'd share a picture of Matt and Kim's pumpkin. Because, I don't know if you know this or not, but they are pretty awesome at this (I think they learned it in one of their 52 combined years of schooling). We are talking NO STENCILS or anything here... Be in awe!
