WinterBlast: Pics

WinterBlast: Day 2

Well it is hard to believe that Ski Trip has come and is almost gone already. We wrapped up our skiing today with some great weather. Not nearly as cold, we had some sun and no wind! It also helped that they weren't blowing snow into our faces all day long. No injuries to report either.

Tonight we had a great dinner at a local equivalent of Cracker Barrel and then headed back for our time of worship and message. John did a great job bringing to light what we are living for and what really matters.

We have to pack and then wake up early for breakfast and to get on the road. Don't forget to check the hotline for our exact arrival time.

WinterBlast: Day 1


Well we made it. We had some difficult weather and roads to drive in. It has been quite challenging to get a 45ft. bus maneuvered around up here! But Larry has done a great job for us.

I don't have time to upload pictures tonight, but did want to at least tell you about our day. It was told to me that with the wind chill we were in the negative numbers on the slopes today... and any bare skin on your body today was proof. Man, it was cold! Beech continued blowing snow on top of the snow that was falling creating a white blizzard to ski through. But all in all, we had a good day and one free of injuries!

After dinner tonight we had our evening session together. We did some fun mixers, the band led worship and John did a great job speaking. He asked us the question, "Is what you are living for worth it?"

Tomorrow we start bright and early and head back to the slopes. They are hoping to have a few more runs open.

A Blogging Hiatus

Well... I'm here. Not that my presence matters that much in the blogging world, but I did decide to take a little break for awhile. There have been plenty of things going on in my world, loads of lessons learned, mistakes made and exciting things over the last few months. It seems blogging about them is a 'journal' in a sense and helps my aging (and oftentimes feeble) mind remember them. Being the New Year I figure it is a time to be more disciplined in writing what God puts on my heart. It has been an awesome holiday time (Thanksgiving and Christmas) with family and friends being grateful for all God has done in a providing a way for us to know Him and truly have life. I wait in eager expectation to see what God has in store for me, my family, ministry and journey this new year.
