Tailgater discussion.
Before the big game...Damion and I (and Jessica Hyman's mom, Pat) were discusing the following verse and concepts surrounding the verse, what do you think?
Eph 2.6
"...[He] made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ..."
Note that this is speaking of those who have received God's grace through Christ and that it is in past tense. "Seated us with Him in the heavenely places."
So are our spirits already in heaven?
Where is heaven?
What is Paul's point?

Elk Hunting
As you might have heard…no elk were found. I had a great time in the mountains of Eastern Oregon with family and friends…and we saw literally hundreds of deer and two herds of wild horses.
Every year I go elk hunting (9 of the last 10 yrs) with my step-dad and his hunting partner/best friend and their boys. They both have sons named Mike and Mark who are almost the same ages. Plus, my brother Curtis and sometimes others such as my step-brother-in-law (my step-sister’s husband) also go. They are a great group of guys … we always have a good time.
We leave Portland early Monday morning driving 4-5 hours. We stop and have breakfast at some diner along the way and then set up camp when we arrive. Our tent is approx 16’ X 36’, it is an old army tent with a wood stove in it and other modern conveniences (gas stove, refrigerator, and generator to run lights and one sleep apnea machine). We often will spend a few hours cutting wood for fire wood that first day, as well. This year we brought wood.
Tuesday we scout the area for a few hours and then relax and enjoy God’s creation.
Wednesday is opening day…we get up between 4:30 and 5:30 eat some breakfast and then head out in search of the big game. We will usually stay out until dark on opening day.
Thursday – Saturday is much the same as Wednesday; however bad weather and lack of elk sign might cause the troops to shorten the day at both ends. Plus, lunch breaks become more frequent as the week progresses.
If no elk sign is found early in the week we will try other areas. This year we drove an hour south from our tent site two days to hunt the area between Cougar and Timber mountains. This was a nice area with the added benefit of having wild horses for us to enjoy observing. But no elk.
Sunday we clean up camp, pack up the tent and other gear into the pickups, have a communion service, and then shoot our guns at targets, before heading back to Portland.

Duck football
Its been a week and a half. Fans have gone through the 5 stages of the grieving process: denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance.
It was hard to accept that Clemens season was over. I feel bad for the guy. Ranked 5th in the nation as a quarterback, half way through the season, breaking UO records, right and left and was on the edge of some of the biggest records. He was after these records at this Oregon which has seen some “great” quarterbacks. What is going to happen in the draft? How will he fair? It is hard to say. That injury might have cost him millions $$$.
There are bright spots… other teammates are making great plays. Brett Haberly is a great story, walk-on junior from Cottage Grove who had seven tackles, including three for losses and one sack. Anthony Trucks, Patrick Chung, and Justin Phinisee also are playing great on defense.
Offense could be great, I believe Dennis Dixon has the athletic ability to lead this team to greatness. Two weeks to prepare was a blessing. Let’s hope he works well with D. Williams, and the running backs. Speaking of the running backs, it would be nice if we could exploit all the talent we have there too.
The 23rd-ranked (AP) California Golden Bears (21st, USA Today) come to Autzen Stadium to face No. 15 (AP) Oregon (13th, USA Today) in a regionally televised game on ABC, beginning at 12:36 p.m. Both teams are coming off a bye week as the Ducks are looking to win their fifth-straight game for the first time since 2002, while the Bears look for their second straight victory.
