The Current Happenings

So I am headed out for my final trip this year.  I am headed to Glacier National Park for the next week (plus a few) with First Presbyterian Church of Houston, Texas.  I am very excited for the trip in such a beautiful place! I hope that God has many things planned for us on this trip!  This past week has been a mixture of work and play.  We finished trip preparation early which allowed for us to have the last day and a half off.  So yesterday afternoon I headed out with Bob Cruickshank to the South Platte river to do some Kayaking.  I had the opportunity to run the most challenging river I have ever faced.  I took a few swims but had a total blast and had my first successful run down a class 4 rapid (as well as some unsuccessful ones).  I am very thankful to Bob and Lucas who took the newbie with them to the river.  Today I spent the earlier part of the day doing some mountain biking in Curt Gowdy State Park with my good buddy Aaron Coleman.  It was fantastic riding on some new trails we haven't had the chance to explore yet!  Later Angela and I went out on a dinner date.  So it's been a fun week and I will be out for a while starting tomorrow.  Feel free to pray for me and the students who I will be instructing.  After this trip Angela and I will stick in the area long enough to have some fun of our own and then we will be headed home!  We miss you all and pray you are doing well!  No pictures this time but on the next post maybe a link to some video of my mountain biking and paddling adventures from the last couple days.  Love you all! See you soon!
