Joshua Tree National Park has been as much a home to me as anyplace I have frequented the last three winters. God has taught me a lot here, and I am continually awed by the beauty and majesty of His creation in this desert environment. Friends and family joined Gretchen and I for our last weekend bash in the park. We rented a group campsite and had 30 people stop in for at least some of the festivities!
We climbed: We hung out:We ate: ...and ate! We worshiped and gave thanks ...and we said goodbye to our friends out west and to the amazing rocks and scenery of one of our favorite places.Thank you God!
I have the privilege of living in vehicle and traveling through the western US instructing outdoor education programs and climbing rocks. I have a passion for the outdoors, and for empowering others to recognize and achieve the potential that lies within them.
I am a Christian, and my faith in Christ is the source of my joy, hope, and peace.
