Comfort Zone

A perfect morning here in the mountains, cool and crisp under the amazing blue Colorado sky. I enjoyed smelling the pines while drinking my morning coffee and pondering my next project. It occurred to me that we about three weeks out from the Leadville 100 Mile Run and even though I'm not running I still … Continue reading Comfort Zone →

God’s Work

Haven't had much wilderness time these days with these long hospital stays with my cancer patient.

If it weren't for all the phones ringing and alarms sounding I might think I was on the 7th floor in a five star resort! I think I finally found a place I like less than the oncology ward, … Continue reading Morning in the Springs →

Importance of God’s presence

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani, My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me, the last known words of our Lord while He was still in the flesh. Many have tried to understand what Jesus meant when He quoted Psalm 21:1 while on the cross and there are countless complex linguistic studies to back the many … Continue reading Importance of God’s presence →

Suffering

I don't do this often as I try to stick to uplifting subjects that fall within my outdoor recreation and adventure expertise, but every once in a while I am compelled to set the record straight on bible quotes. As the caregiver to a person battling cancer I frequently am subjected to alleged words of … Continue reading Suffering →
