We left Michigan on Tuesday the 5th, exactly 2 weeks ago. The weather wasn't good when we left. On our way through Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana we continued to have tornado-like storms and got caught in a hail storm in Gillette, Wyoming. All along, the weather has been "unseasonably cold." So it only makes perfect sense to find snow on all the east facing slopes at the park yesterday. The air temperature was in the 60's, but the snow is still being removed from roads around the rim of the crater and from off the tourist paths.
The red sweet Bing cherries are in season here and absolutely delicious. We have also been enjoying fresh, 33 cent, California avocados.
The second picture needs a bit of an explanation. The stump in the picture remains alive because its underground roots are grafted naturally to the large tree next to it. Even though the stump appears to be dead, it lives because it abides in the life-giving forces of the living tree. Some spiritual applications there, eh? I did not know until yesterday that it was possible for trees to graft their roots together underground. Pretty amazing!
Jim has been invited to preach tomorrow evening here in Grants Pass. Please pray for him to be clear and Christ-honoring in his speaking. Thanks.
We will travel to another church this coming weekend and then return to Grants Pass for a few more days.
