More Adventure


Frost and chill, bless the Lord…
Ice and snow, bless the Lord…
Nights and days, bless the Lord…
Light and darkness, bless the Lord…
Lightnings and clouds, bless the Lord…
Let the earth bless the Lord…
Mountains and hills, bless the Lord…

Spending time around my family is a never ending adventure one way or another. Some may say we're crazy. I'd have to agree. Last night we went up into the mountains with some family friends, after dark, to go snowshoeing. Yes, in the pitch black. Boy, was that fun. To add to the excitement we took a few wrong turns making the hike snowshoeing in the dark that much longer. We eventually made it to the public access recreation cabin we were aiming for at 10:00pm. We slept up in the mountains and came back down today. Though snowshoeing in the dark was my idea of insanity, not fun, the adventure was well worth it in the end.
