Free Ski Day

I remember a time when a hated free ski day. The Grizwalls and the gapers all over the mountain. Now I live for free ski day, funny how things change. I went with Kevin Wright, Rick Cummings, John Fitch, Gary Christenson and Jeremy K. We slashed it up from summit to sunrise. Go free ski day!

Los Angeles Dream Center

March 24 - 30 I was in Los Angeles with 22 people from Oasis (mostly high schoolers). We spent the entire week serving all sorts of people. Physically it was exhausting: 15 hour van ride, loading trucks with food, cleaning, talking to people on the streets, sharing a room with 8 high school guys; but spiritually it was like taking a long vacation to an island where you just lay on the beach and get served pina coladas. I was reminded of Jesus' words "It is more blessed to give then to receive". Coming back was eye opening realizing how much of my week is devoted to serving myself. We gotta live to give, that's where we find abundant life.
