Pictures taken from Will Rodgers shrine, a rather morbid place in my opinion, but the views of the city are spectacular from up there!

What if you believed God for the impossible?
I have been challenged recently with the thought....."What if you believed God for the impossible?"
When we were in Breckenridge earlier this month, we did a lot of hiking on the mountain and also in the town. We came across some very beautiful homes. Tim and I had fun picking out our dream home, and we also talked about how great it would be have a BIG house so we could host lots of people, especially our BFA friends.
Part of me would never want a big house because I would not want to clean it (or heat it, or furnish it)! But another part of me would love to own a large home so that we could make it available, especially to alumni and staff from BFA who need a place to retreat to.
Tim and I do not yet own a home. We are currently renting. I am trusting God for what seems at the moment to be an impossibility - owning a home of our own. While I am at it, why not trust Him for a BIG house?! He is a BIG God!
What about you? What if you believed God for the impossible?!

Another Saturday, Another Hike
Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day so Tim and I headed into the mountains and did a 10.5 km. hike. It was challenging, and we were tired and sore by the time we reached the "finish line" but it was so worth it. We look forward to doing the same route again soon.
Some of these pictures were taken on the hike, some were taken at other spots.
How does this tree manage to survive? I am amazed again and again because there are many like this where we live - growing out of rocks. A great illustration of being grounded in Him and having roots going down deep.
"Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit". Jeremiah 17:8

Blast from the Past
Tim found this picture several days ago, taken in 1975 when he was in marching band at Stow High School. He played drums and is in the front row 4th from the left. Looking mighty dapper in his white blazer and bluejeans, wouldn't you agree?! (Click on picture to enlarge it).
