On the Road to Cheyenne

This morning we woke up in Salt Lake City (Not looking for a new church here) and are on our way to Cheyenne Wyoming. We’ve driven through snow capped mountains and beautiful lush valleys. We have seen deer, which readily came up into Pastor Jerry and Grace’s back yard, a few antelope… but we haven’t seen them playing yet. You might have to think about that one. We got to see the spring salmon run with Rob’s brother, Jerry, his wife Cynthia, and their kids, Patricia and JJ, some Sturgeon that were about six feet long, and I am not giving you a fisherman’s tale. These things were huge. It is absolutely amazing to see the beauty and diversity of God’s creation.

We went to see the movie “Expelled”, which was very insightful. We enjoyed it and would recommend it to any of you interested in the debate between Intelligent Design, the belief that life originated from a higher power, and Evolution, used as Darwin and others to explain the origin of life. Not as boring as it sounds, many funny moments.

We have now visited three wonderful churches. They each are clearly focused on seeing lives transformed. They each come at it in their own unique way. We are learning a great deal and have received much encouragement from each place we have been.

We continue to read in 1 Samuel in our devotions. It’s no wonder they call it Amazing Grace. God sure put up with a lot in those days. Pretty sure he still does. We are reading and discussing two books together right now, alternating between them as we are out on the road. One is Kay Warren’s Dangerous Surrender, and the other is called Focus. Both have given us many useful insights.

We are keenly aware of how blessed we are to be a part of our Olive Knolls family and to be held up each day in your prayers. Please know that we are praying for you as we go along.

May God bless you in a special way this week,

Rob and Debie
