Story Time
First I want to say a quick HAPPY SABBATH to everyone and a special hello to all of my girls at Southern. Tina, I miss going across the room and getting your fashion advice (even though I never took any...hehe). Emily, I never did ask you, but I borrowed a few things (smiles). That was cool. Lisa(movie night in your room was the best!), Melissa (my crazy cool gym-master roomie), Liz, Christina(my almost roomie - *tear), Alison (Birthday Buddy!), Renee (Queen of the seas, or swimming pool), Katie (keep our carmel-apple tradition alive), and all you boys, maybe I'll give a hello next time!
The Latest Happenings
Last weekend was our annual family campout. Usually we go to Canada or Glacier Nat. Park, but this year we decided to be a little more intense and go backpacking. It was only a two mile hike in to a really beautiful lake. On the way up the mountain, we spotted the coolest moose with a huge rack and a long, scraggly beard. We was only about 20 feet from the trail. We looked around to find the tree we would throw ourselves behind if he decided to charge. But no such happenings.
We got to our campsite and did all the great things that camping brings: pitching tents, roasting vega-links (for those vegetarians out there), trying to stay warm and finding our bathroom amoung the trees. It's all great. However, when you have to sleep in the same tent as your brother, it can prove to be a little ify. But I guess his snoring could have been a blessing to keep the bears at bay. We'll never know...
I woke up the next morning, upzipped the tent, and just had to laugh. Here we were up a mountain, trying to have a relaxing time with the fam (or pads as Renee B. likes to say) and it is snowing! Keep in mind this is late summer. Overall it was a worthwhile trip, except for the soping wet shoes, but a little shocking about the snow.
Here's today's verse.
"Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life;
don't for a minute lose sight of them.
They'll keep your soul alive and well,
they'll keep you fit and attractive.
You'll travel safely,
you'll neither tire nor trip.
You'll take afternoon naps without worry,
you'll enjoy a good night's sleep.
No need to panic over alarms or surprises,
or predictions that doomsday's just around the corner,
Because GOD will be right there with you;
he'll keep you safe and sound.
Proverbs 3:21-26
I'm a bit of a worrier. So when I read this, it gives me a little more comfort in knowing God's in control of everything. It makes me strive to think clearly and gain wisdom to keep my nerves calmed especially with all the destruction going on in the world. God's coming is just around the corner and it's SO exciting!
