June in the Rearview

Whew! It was a full month. After #1 and I spent the first 2 wks. in Peru, the whole family (Wife, #1, #2 and me) made a trip to Fabulous Las Vegas for a wedding the last week of the month. The distance between these 2 places can’t be measured merely with miles. A chasm much greater than the Grand Canyon that the family visited. Comprehension of how both worlds can exist is harder to reach than the peak of Huascaran that regally loomed as #1 and I trekked through the Andes.

A world built on extravagance and wants vs. one focused on survival with only the most basic of needs. A mindf**k for sure!!

With all that time on planes and buses, I was able to read 2 books: The Shack and Three Cups of Tea. I loved both of them. The Shack helped remove another cloudy layer from my elementary understanding of God’s character and the Trinity, especially the Holy Spirit. Three Cups of Tea may be my new favorite. The true story of one man literally stumbling into his life’s work after and because of what seemed to be his greatest failure. GREAT STORY!!

I hope to be able to update a little more often now that all of our travel is done.

Check out the list of 40 Day Fast bloggers over in the right column. Read them daily. I think you’ll be inspired. Notice the guy on July 26th. One of his absolute favorite pastimes is eating. He can’t on that day. Start praying now for a shrunken stomach and small appetite!!

See ya soon.
