WINTER ADVANCE 2017

A Weekend In The PNW

Winter Advance 2017
This past weekend we were in the beautiful PNW (Pacific Northwest) for the annual, Winter Advance. A new location this year: Ross Point Camp and Conference Center, in Post Falls, Idaho, just across the border from Spokane, Washington. A gorgeous location and a refreshing weekend with folks from near and far. dozens and dozens of folks coming in from 6 or 7 states.

The teachings focused on our theme: Reverence for God. Proverbs 1 says, The fear [reverence] of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

It is so very right, fitting, proper, and should really go without saying, that the Creator of the heavens and the earth deserves our reverence. Recognition. Praise. Glory. Thanksgiving. Service. Obedience. Love.

I think we all left with a greater understanding, appreciation, reverence, and commitment to and for our wonderful loving God and Father. I know I did!

And by the way, we were all cozy and warm under a blanket of snow!

How Do You Define God?

It’s Another Podcast!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think we are all “out of the woods” yet. I’m a pretty optimistic person, but I don’t think that everything is fine and heading in the right direction, do you?

In these days of economic uncertainty, if we are going to put our trust and confidence in God, then we need to be clear Who we think God is.

In this short podcast (6:50) I will give you the best definition of God that I know.  It is a definition that God Himself used when He was asked to describe Himself.

Enjoy the podcast.

1930 Was A Good Year

Special announcement below, but first…

Happy Birthday Mom!

Tomorrow my mom celebrates her 80th birthday.  She was born in 1930, and so, 1930 was a good year for her.  She has seen a lot of things in her lifetime so far.

I found some interesting trivia about 1930 and listed it below.  I know it was quite awhile ago, but it’s fun to look at some of those things.  It is probably a lot fun for mom.

What Did Thing Cost In 1930?

A New House – $7,146.00
Average Income – $1,973.00 per year
A New Car – $610.00
Average Rent – $15.00 per month
Tuition to Harvard University – $400.00 per year
Movie Ticket – 25¢
Gasoline – 10¢ per gallon
United States Postage Stamp – 2¢
Sugar – 65¢ for 10 pounds
Vitamin D Milk – 56¢ per gallon
Ground Coffee – 46¢ per pound
Bacon – 25¢ per pound
Eggs – 15¢ per dozen
Fresh Ground Hamburger – 13¢ per pound
Fresh Baked Bread – 9¢ per loaf

Now you may wish prices were that low today, but, on the other hand, I don’t think we would want salaries and opportunities to be today like they were in 1930, do you?  But still, a new car for $610?  Wow.

Headin’ To Spokane

On The Road Again

On my way to Spokane Washington for a Winter Youth Advance.  We will be at Zephry Lodge, Liberty Lake Washington near Spokane.

I’m grateful for the invite to teach.  Thanks Steve!  Looking forward to spending the weekend with a bunch of young folks.

This lodge has a pretty cool history.  In 1894 a Spokane Cattleman from Nova Scotia, named Roderick MacKenzie bought up 800 acres of land along the Northwest shore of Liberty Lake including some 40 acres of orchard originally planted by the Hudson Bay Company.

Some pictures from last year below.  Have a great weekend.
