Just after worship today I will head to the airport to catch a flight to Dallas, Texas. I’ll be away for a week, backpacking in Guadalupe Mountains National Park with my friends Chuck Treadwell and Joe Perez. Here’s a picture from another trip—Mount Rainier in the summer of 2005—just to give you an idea of why I do it. Yes, I’m grizzled and footsore in this picture, but I’m sipping hot tea on the Wonderland Trail, with Mount Rainier looming over my left shoulder.
It doesn’t get any better than that.
Have a great time and enjoy the beautiful Guadalupe Mountains.
What a wonderful opportunity to feel closer to God. That picture looks as if you really took to nature. I was in RIO CALIENTE, just outside of Guadalajara, Mexico last March. There was a 200-foot high green waterfall, and I stood by it, feeling hundreds of degrees of heat. I wondered then how the good Lord made that, and I still marvel at His creations. The groundwater, springs, and all streams in the ares there at RIO CALIENTE were a hundred and ninety degrees.
So, it is a good thing that you get to go back to a place of miracles and meditation. Come back safe and soon.
Veramente, questa e miravigliosa, e mas que nada.
Adios, amigo.

Hope you’ve had a wonderful week! possibly without the rain of the Eastern seaboard — it’s been a really wet one here, but when God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world, or so they tell me. Blessings,
