Montage Part #1(or what I've been doing since my last post)

As with any good movie montage, this purpose of this one is to fill in things you need to know, point out things that you might have missed and hopefully provide at least one "aha" moment. And just to keep it as confusing as possible, I present this one to you in no particular order.

This first picture was taken by Katie. It is me in Yellowstone National Park. I think this one was taken at the upper springs where we went to see the Grand Prismatic. It was a bit stinky, but super fun.


This one is with some of the youth group kids at a service project. I told them to make mean faces. The person taking the picture told us to make mean faces!



This picture is here for two reasons. One is because a student in the group named Jojo took it and I think it looks cool. The other is because this is what I do. Friends sometimes ask what is my favorite part of my job and this is it. Walking with a kid, a young disciple, a new friend. It is the place where my deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.


One of the fun things that I got to do this summer was get to know a town, Halfway, OR. Katie spent the summer there working at the Pine Eagle Clinic. Halfway is famous for being the first city in the country to sell naming rights for its town to a company, in this case eBay's half.com.
