We had so much fun this last weekend! It was Capital Christian's Race Weekend. Our friends, Pastors
Jeff and
Melinda Knight from
The Rock Church in Monroe, WA were here. Jeff is an amazing pastor...oh, and he also happens to be a NASCAR racer! (I think Jeff might be the coolest pastor in the Northwest.) Jeff and Ken have been friends for many years and we were excited to introduce Jeff and Melinda to our church and city, and watch Jeff race at the Meridian Speedway.
The weekend started with a Men's Breakfast on Saturday morning. Jeff put our church logo on the hood of his race car. Nice!
This little boy was lovin' it!
Jeff spoke at the Men's Breakfast.
Ken went along to the Meridian Speedway and hung out with Jeff and his crew in the pits. Jeff's crew is an amazing group of volunteers who work their tails off getting him ready to race.
Go #70!!
My first experience at the races. We were totally into it! Over 350 people from Capital came out to watch and support Jeff and his teammate, Fred. Way to represent!
Jeff stayin' loose with his gorgeous daughter, Seven Addison, before the big race.
One of the risks of racing. The driver walked away, just fine.
Ken values his friendship with Jeff. They've mentored, supported, and encouraged each other over the years.
Jeff finished 5th. He was totally robbed! Check out his take on the race on his
blog. He'll be back again, to win!
Good friends, great times, and awesome memories! Jeff and Melinda spoke at Capital on Sunday morning. They have amazing stories of God's redemption, healing, strength, and faithfulness. They are truly living out the love of God in the world around them. We were blessed to have them here this weekend.

Its cool you guys came to meridian... even tho your team nearly started a riot takin Tyler "the torch" Monroe out of the race. But hey i guess all is forgiven... well mostly. (dont know how promoter John Wood feels, since he likes to ban people from his track) but i hope you are welcome back and when you do come back hopefully the team can figure out a better way arround the track USING LESS FRONT BUMPER :) Thanks.
Seriously??? Talking smack ANONYMOUSLY? At least leave a first name...
