A Great (long) Weekend for Football - Woohoo!

All around it was a great weekend for football!

It started out on Thursday morning with a pickup game of football with some of the guys (and gal - go Tina!) from the NCC. We had a great time over at Franklin Park. Even though my team lost (it was close) we had a blast & I got to QB - loads of fun! Special props to Donovan who definitely made the most sliding catches & a happy birthday to Brad.

Next up on Friday, we went to the Washington 1-A semifinals where my school - Cascade Christian - won big time. We've got some really talented players on our team & it was great getting to watch them in the Tacoma Dome. Next weekend we play for the championship - go Cougs!

Finally, this morning was the matchup I've been waiting all year for - Georgia Tech vs. Georgia. And to top it off, our network decided to show it - meaning I got to watch it for a change (in HD to boot). It started out slow, but come second half, it was all Yellowjackets (sorry, Dawgs). It was a great game, but in the end Tech held out for the victory (7 years in the making). An interesting note: when the Tech players were asked their goals at the start of the season, their number one goal was beat Georgia - that's how deep the rivalry goes. Way to go Yellow Jackets!


Go Tech!

Back to Music Education

When I was in high school, a lot of people would ask what I want to do in life. I knew I would be heading to college (that was a given for me), but I wasn't quite sure what I would do there. But the last couple of years in high school helped steer me in the direction of teaching - and specifically teaching music.

College arrived and I loved it. I loved the music education, I loved the activities (BSU), I loved the atmosphere. Unfortunately I hit a speed bump in the last year or so of college life - which changed things a bit. Fortunately, I was still able to get a degree in music. And the best thing was that it helped direct us towards serving in ministry in the Northwest. (Have we mentioned we love the Northwest?)

A few years of college ministry, a couple of church plants, and a seminary degree later, we are still loving the Northwest and excited about what the next chapter holds.

Well, I am excited to say that we know a little more of what that will look like. Starting this Fall, I'll be teaching music at Cascade Christian Schools at the Fredrickson Elementary campus. Elementary music! I love it! 250 kids, K-6. We're going to have a blast! One of the really cool parts will be working with the worship team for chapel services. I love developing worship leaders - and this is starting at the very beginning. It's going to be a great year!

I feel that in a lot of ways, I'm coming full circle. Getting back into one of the things I love, while still being able to serve God in the local church as well. I'm excited & we'll keep you updated on how things go.
