Just a quick post to let you know that there will be a memorial service for my Dad on Sunday, March 15 at 4:00 pm at Westside Church of Christ. All are welcome. We appreciate your prayers.
We'll be there in spirit as you celebrate your Dad's life.

Dear Josh -
You and your family have my deepest condolences in the death of your dad. I lost my dad to liver cancer several years ago (it was caused by a bad blood transfusion when he had had by-pass surgery).
Like with your dad, mine was at home and I was there with him and my mom when he died and it was a tremendous blessing for us to be there together.
My heart, love and prayers go out to you all in this time of change in your family. Your dad is now asleep with God watching over him until the Resurrection of us all.
Josh, you did an excellent job at the memorial yesterday. I really liked your comments about the trust fund and hope that you'll consider posting it (or at least excerpts) here for those who couldn't attend (and those of us who did). Peace and blessings to your family this week and always!
My prayers were there for you, but they are still there today. The next few weeks and months will be tough, brother, so the prayers will be lifted up now more than ever. How great is our God!
Josh, you did an amazing job at the service. What you said really made an impact on us, especially Clint. It was a blessing to be there with your family. We will continue to pray for you all.
So sorry to hear about your dad, though we do rejoice in the promises of our REAL life in our forever home. I've not been by your blog in a while so I'm just now (3/18) learning of your dad's death. Even from what little I know about him, it must have been quite a celebration of God's love and grace!!
Shorter post today. I thought it would be better if you knew up front. I teach a business law class to junior and senior business students at a couple local colleges. I do it because I enjoy it and one of the colleges is a local Christian school I like to support. One of the things I have come to enjoy is how predictable people are in groups. Get a group of people together and you will always have certain personality types and people playing certain rolls. It is like the various versions of the expression that goes something like, every group of people has at least one person that the rest of the group makes fun of when they are not there. If you can not identify that person in your particular group it is because that person is you. ....or so the saying goes. Anyway, every year I teach this class the "same" people sit in the same places in class, dress the same and make the same comments. They are actually different people, most of whom don't even know each other
Out of nowhere, I am going to San Diego this week. Every year my oldest and bestest friend (not including the artist formerly known as StumpTown's wife, of course) meet in San Francisco to see a couple Giants games. This year we were having trouble getting something scheduled and then out of nowhere he has some extra travel budget he has to spend or lose (he visits colleges as part of his job as a college counselor at a super posh prep school in LA), and needs to visit some of the schools in San Diego and wouldn't you know it, the Giants just happen to be in town this weekend. So, a quick frequent flyer free ticket later and I'm hitting the road, or air, or whatever. I will fly out tomorrow and come back Sunday. We should get to see a couple games and I'll be able to catch up with some other friends from college along the way. Should be great. So, I may not be able to post anything new here the rest of the week, though I am taking a laptop with me and have high ho
Man, I wish I had time to blog, because there is so much going on right now. I just started at a new firm. It is the firm where I started my career and I could not be happier to be back. To make it even better, after going through 16 different secretaries, I now am working with the best of the best and she decided to come with me to the new firm making a good situation that much better. In other news, my lovely wife and I just got back from the Zoe worship conference in beautiful Fresno, California. Here were some of the highlights in mostly chronological order: We left the kids with the grandparents and drove down. That’s right we drove the 12+ hours from Portland to Fresno. Apparently, we are just too stupid (and by “we” I mean “me”) to figure out that gas prices probably make flying cheaper, so then the only thing air travel has going for it is the time savings, convenience and lack of extra miles on the car. Good thinking by us. I love a road trip, but this was just dumb. That said
