VACATION REPORT
July 27, 2010
It is Tuesday, July 27th. We left for vacation on Saturday and have been to the Mt. Rushmore and spent time in the Black Hills. Now we are in the Rocky Mountains at Brekenridge, Colorado. We just got back from a 6 mile trail walk which the last half was in the rain as an unexpected rain fell. It was exiting. We got back to the mountain house and got in the hot tub and warmed up a little. We were supposed to have internet access here but when we got here the router was not working and they tell us it will be a few days to get it working. I am using something special right now and wanted to let everyone know we were doing well. It has been wonderful to again see God's great creation. What a wonderful country we live in. I have read a complete book on South Dakota and really enjoyed, it was relaxing. I have been studying the scriptures every morning. This morning was a very sweet time with the Lord. I am reading another book that I read years ago.,it is "Life On A Higher Plain." This book is a classic on salvation and overcoming the old man in our life. I may develop a few messages on this when we return. Well, I need to go , hope tomorrow we will be able to spend a little more time updating you. Praying for each of you.

NO! LOL! NO WAY! You have been to MY Mt. Rushmore? I want to go there so bad, I can taste it! Now, I have to confess my jealousy! Sigh. Glad to read that you are praying for us, because though I am happy for you, I am sad for me that I didn't get to go there yet! LOL Hope you bring back lots of pictures. Thanks for thinking of us and sending this blogcation blogification. A little trivia: The first mention of "mountain" in the Bible is: "Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered." (Genesis 7:20) 15 cubits = 22.5 feet above the highest mountain. (Online source.) Mt. Ararat is 29035 feet above sea level. (Online source.) "The highest point in Colorado, and in the Rocky Mountains, is Mt. Elbert at 14,440 feet above sea level. Colorado is home to more mountains 14,000 feet or higher than any other state." (http://www.netstate.com/states/geography/co_geography.htm) The last mention of the word "mountain" in the Bible is, "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God." (Rev. 21:10) Something to think about while in the majestic purple mountains of our great country! Praise the Lord! May God richly bless your vacation. May you catch lots of mountain fish. -CB
