I am so happy for you guys. Bet you are glad you decided to live in Portland now!

You know, in New Jersey it is also illegal to fill your own car with gas. We used to go to Jersey just to get cheap full service gas when we were in Philadelphia.

Any ways - you should think of God working things out like a "work out" God working things out doesn't mean it is easy - it just means that it is rewarding.

hi Kobie,

i just read through your blogs; i had some catching up to do. you seem to be writing more lately, with so much new and exciting things going down. I am stoked for you and Travis.... that he doesn't have to commute and that you both are enjoying the city.
i've been listening to my imago dei podcasts... i started because i realized i needed truth to be spoken to my heart more and to immerse myself in truth, instead of crap or complacency. so, it is interesting for me to hear your perspective on the community there.
i'm considering to start up a blog on this blogspot thing... i feel that it will help to bring out some creativity and let out the things in my life and mind... we'll see
tell Travis i said hi. you guys are awesome!
