All Things New by Mike in Colorado
Today was a day full of the strange and wonderful.
Christ Church J2A landed in Colorado today! Our first stop after the team’s arrival and short lunch was the Garden of the Gods. I have personally seen the monuments four or five times, and I am always amazed by the massive red rocks as they suddenly jut into view. [I think one of our team members was especially glad that the Garden wasn't a literal garden.] The massive outcroppings are impressive and, well, odd. Our team took photos and scrambled around the rocks for a bit before we left for EZ Yoke ranch.
A good portion of our day was spent driving farther and farther into the mountains where we are staying. As we neared our destination, our van turned a corner to find two horses running towards us. No riders or saddles or (can you have leashes on horses?) anything- just two horses running past us the opposite way. We stopped, and they galloped past, as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Our last encounter with the unusual came from one of our own team members, Adam. Apparently his packing included essentials for the week, three pounds of candy, and a spice shaker full of his favorite brand of allspice. Wow. We pray that we find more of the strange and wonderful here in Colorado. We’ve had just a taste today of we anticipate lots more to come.
