Country Music Marathon 2012
Last Saturday I was able to partake in the Nashville Country Music Marathon to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Another 26.2 miles down for me! I love that my sport benefits organizations. I get to do what I love and help someone in the process. After a great night’s rest, I woke up bright…

A Hop, A Skip and Here We Are!
About an hour ago, Jess and I landed in Nashville. Our purpose for coming here is two-fold. First and foremost, we are here to see my brother and his family. Second, we are here to run a race. Jess is signed up to run the full marathon at the St. Judes Country Music Rock’N’Roll marathon…

Ridin’ da Bike
As the weather has been steadily improving, the whole community has been waking up. It used to be that Jess and I could run for miles and not see another person walking, let alone running. Now the fair-weather, winter-afflicted souls our out about creating the hustle and bustle that make Bozeman so enjoyable in the…

“Gospel Centered Discipleship”
I recently picked up the book “Gospel Centered Discipleship” by Jonathan K. Dodson. It was a book that Brent has actually been wanting to read for a while. It helps that the foreword is by Matt Chandler. Matt Chandler is a pastor at The Village Church down in Texas. We both have spent time recently…

Worshiping a Living God
How awesome is it that we serve and worship a living God? He loved/loves me so much that He died for all of my sins and yours. I love that we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. What a great time to bring it all back to him. If I were to only do this everyday. This is…

Someone’s got a new bicycle!
As many of you know, Jess had her 25th birthday this last week. An early birthday gift came in the form of a new road bike that we had been saving up for. We went to Owenhouse to pick up the Giant Avail 2 after I arrived home from working in Helena on Tuesday. We…

A Quarter of a Century
Yesterday I turned 25! What a great 25 years I have had. Brent had to work over in Helena, so we were up bright and early. Before he headed out the door, he made me some tasty french toast. After he left, I was able to spend some time in God’s word. What a great…

Gas Buydown
Saturday, Jess and I had the chance to go and serve with Venture Church at Bozeman’s first ever “Gas Buy-down.” For those of you who don’t know what that is, a gas buy-down is where a sponsoring organization comes in to a gas station to reduce the price of fuel by a certain amount, in…

GoPro!
REI dividend….check! 20% off coupon….check! Desire to own a POV (point of view) camera….check! Well I think you can guess what I just purchased. Last Friday, I picked up a GoPro HD2 at REI and played with it a little bit over the weekend. I decided I needed to do something with it so I…

Double Dip
This past Sunday, Jess and I broke new ground. As some of you know, we have been in the process of finding a new church family. Our search lead us to some churches we were familiar with, others brought new experiences. It grew us as we never quite realized the diversity represented by so many…

A Stroll Up in the Mountains
After an amazing!! Sunday morning at Venture Church (Brent will eventually get to blogging about this), we headed up to the mountains to enjoy God’s wonderful creation. We enjoyed a nice stroll along the roadside as the snow covered the ground around the reservoir. We did not feel like trekking around in a pile of melting snow…

Dinner Around The World – The Philippines
Last night, Jess and I, along with some other friends took the opportunity to revise a college tradition. While living in family and graduate housing at MSU, we would regularly get together for an international cuisine night. It was a great time to pull out some recipes or perhaps try something new, but it mostly…
