The Best Coffee After 4 Miles Up The Trail...Matthew 28:11-15...A different response

Image
 A 4 mile hike this morning up over a 1000 ft to the cafe at the Alpine Visitor's Center in the RMNP.  A great hike with a friend and we arrived just before the doors opened so the coffee was hot and fresh.  What a great way to start the day and the week with a window seat with a mountain view!  Next was a 4 mile hike back to the car. The Specimen Mountains are some of the main attractions on this hike.  We traversed up and then came back down to Milner Pass.  It was a trial run to make sure all was well for the ladies' hike on Friday down this trail.  These mountains are protected from hiking activity so the mountain sheep have a place to be roam freely.  Limitations can be annoying at times but some limitations we need to learn to appreciate and be thankful for.  That is a possible future lesson for sure. We experienced a very different reaction from those who also heard of the angel of God, the earthquake, the other eyewitnesses there (the...

The Last Chapter...Matthew 28:1-10...Easter in August

Image
  A great Lord's Day with the church family on Sunday.  We ended the day with a baptism of J.T. with his mom and dad and stepmom along with other family and friends and his church family looking on.  The waters of Grand Lake weren't too cold and I'm thankful we get to re-create this scene in a couple of weeks.  Be in prayer for this young one who desired to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  It has been awhile since I was in the water doing this type of service. This sign means I made it up to the Ditch Road at 10,300 ft.  I am strengthening up my knee and calf and it was a good 10 mile loop last Friday.  The second picture is the contour of the Ditch Road and the Grand Ditch along the Never Summer Mountain Range to catch the snow melt and send it to reservoirs in the opposite direction for Denver.  I came from around the corner of the ledge formed by the road on the mid far right of the picture.  It was a se...

Officially a Senior according to the NPS...Matthew 27:57-66

Image
  According to the National Park Service, I am officially have senior status.  The once a year $80 fee is replaced by a once in a lifetime $80 fee.  I will pull this out many times hopefully and also display in the windshield when needed.  It promoted a little hike in the park. Here is a new picture of the barn with Baker Mountain and the Green Knoll in the background.  I was thankful for the breeze coming across the valley. Here is also my companion for this maiden senior hike in the park.  She has one of those cards too.  I've got a couple trips planned for us in the near future. We finished up chapter 27 of Matthew this Sunday.  We have one chapter left (probably 3 sermons).  Jesus is in the rich man's tomb on the Sabbath.  Matthew seems to want us to know this 3 day event.  He points out the Day of Preparation (the 6th day of the week) for the Sabbath, the Sabbath (the 7th day of the week) and then the 1st day of the week after ...
