Rest in Peace Michael
An interesting week to be sure as icons of the twentieth century begin to fade into the sunset. First, Ed McMahon, a from the Golden Age of Television and a pioneer and late night comedy and talk shows. Then two days later, Farrah Fawcett, a sex-icon of the latter twentieth century, a talented actress and a determined fighter of cancer. And on the same day as Fawcett, today, Michael Jackson.

Racing Thought
Rain, rain drops. Tat-Tat-Tat from the sky to the ground. Each drop its own, each drop part of the storm. One-two-three, how long can I count the falling? Life, life springs. Inching up from the ground inch by inch, by inch. Green, Red, Orange, Yellow, and Blue each new sprout unique. Each sprout a part of the field. Ants, ants crawl. Going to and frow and doing work.

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
