We passed through so many sweet towns today - especially steamboat springs. They're all like 1930s, with saloons and such, so cute, so filled with character.We had another 3000 foot climb (good golly) but when we got to the top there were all kinds of meadows and beautiful flowers...... so guess what it reminded me of? The sound of music of course!! It was cool.After we coasted down the other side of the mountain (I'm so happy that "what goes up, must come down") there were rolling green hills, and the clouds were all dancing all over the sky. It was so incredibly beautiful! Before I went to bed that night, a local girl was going for a walk with her dog - and this was not just any dog, this was a St. Bernard! Roll over Beethoven! I love those dogs, they are my favy baby! I was just having all of him! We also had our worship service tonight - it was about Justice and Peace. Hans has done such an awesome job putting these services together. The benediction was incredible. I encourage you all to read this - it really marks the purpose or our tour, but I hope that all of you who read it will feel challanged and encouraged to seek Justice and Peace. "May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and explitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, startvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.And the Blessing of God, who Creates, Redeems and Sanctifies, be upon you and all you love and pray for this day, and forever more.Amen.
