G'day!

I'm departing the USA for the annual 3 month ministry time in Australia. I will not miss the rain (but FYI we didn't make the record in Seattle - however Olympia was not so lucky).

Seattle VS Melbourne: Going from 45F to 84F, dark at 4:30pm to dark at 9:00pm. I will even see the Sun again.

Hardest part of the prep - packing for so many different kinds of ministry - kids/teens/adults - clowning to lecturing to preaching and trying to pick clothing for heat of summer while shivering in flannel sweats.

GO SEAHAWKS!!!!
Ok, so this Sunday is a big one for the Seattle Seahawks. One game between us and the Superbowl!!!!!

Seahawks VS the Panthers (Carolina).

This city has a dream - everyone is dressed in blue and the #12 is flying from the top of the Space Needle.
(Reference to #12 is the unofficial # given to the fans since in American Gridiron football a team has 11 players on the field)
One of the local female news anchors dressed up in a Seahawks uniform and did the following cheer on the air this a.m.:

Hey! Ok!
It's Panther heads that we'll be slammin'
Toss them around like a big King Salmon! (google Pikes Market)

Appologies to Panther fans, CARN the Seahawks!!

This wasn’t just about “transition” from one season to the next. Something else was happening. Emotionally I felt adrift.  Soon after I met Merri Ellen Geisbrecht, a Christian Life Coach and Spiritual Director, through an online event for women who desired to encounter Jesus in a deeper way in the midst of the Noise.  I immediately felt this was a God opportunity. I was impressed and could relate to her testimony of beating depression and connecting with Jesus in listening prayer. Her foundation in the Word and her hunger for intimacy to hear from God resonated with where I felt my own journey was going.  She had a 5 day group coaching event in May called “Encounter Jesus in the Noise”....
