2 for 1

Well, today I am going to put yesterday and today into one blog.

Yesterday, Seth and I helped Dennis build a roof on Seth's hut. It took about 6 hours. I was beat by the time it was done and ready to take a nap. But Dennis loves to work. I am pretty sure he stayed out there another 5 hours.

Last night there was a high school bible study in the Richardson basement. About 15 people showed up. It was a great night. Seth has been leading the study the last few weeks. We had worship for about a half hour, and then a graduate of Seth's old high school shared some things the Lord had been doing in his life. Check my other blog if you want to hear about it and what I was processing through as he talked. After the study, we drank tea, watched Mulan, and had a jam session on the guitar, harmonica, and chairs. Seth doesn't have any percussion instruments, so we made use of things lying around his basement. Chairs happened to be one of them.


Today is Sunday... the best day of the week. It actually was the best day of the week so far. I seem to have said that before in these blogs. I guess that means that God is good and is giving me an awesome time up here. Today, all the kids from church came over to the Richardson house after church. There were about 15 of us total. Seth and I were the oldest at 20, and the youngest was probably 6. We all went to Kincaid park. Kincaid is right by the Cook Inlet (part the pacific ocean) and has trail that lead down to the beach. It was low tide and extremely muddy. So we all had a gigantic mud fight. It was awesome. We planned it, so we were prepared for the mess. I haven't felt like a little kid like that in a long time. There is something about an 8 year old chasing you with no shirt and mud in his hands. You just have to take it and smile. Jesus really was right when he talked about the Kingdom being that of people with child like faith. Their innocence is so humbling.


Seth and I leave for Denali National Park tomorrow morning. We are spending one night. I am ridiculously uber decided. I have the privilege of camping at the foot of the tallest mountain in North America. Mount McKinley is a whopping 20,320 feet. For all you non Americans reading this (there might be a few Northern Irisher's) that is 6,194 meters. Don't worry I didn't do that math in my head. I looked it up on Wikipedia.

Well, the night is coming to a close. I am gonna say goodbye for now.

God bless from Anchorage.
