Sunday

It was a gorgeous day! We went to a new church today - Alamosa Christian Reformed Church. It was more out in the country. Their pastor sung the Gilligan's Island theme song from the pulpit. We learned that each of the characters are representations of one deadly sin - i.e. Gilligan = laziness; Skipper = anger; MaryAnne = envy... etc It was an introductory sermon to a series that was starting. After church we went to the Community picnic at La Puente. It was good food, music, and fellowship. Jeremy watched the Browns beat Baltimore while we were there. He was excited. I think he decided the Browns are playing better since he is no longer living in Ohio. Who knows? We took a picture of Mt. Blanca because it looked amazing today. I don' t think the picture even begins to do it justice, but here it is anyway. (See top right picture.)

Then, this evening Jeremy and I went geocaching in the middle of nowhere. It was east of a town called Manassa. Manassa is a little south of La Jara. The geocache was well-hidden. This rock outcropping is where the cache was hidden. There was a warning to beware of rattlesnakes, but it is too cold for them to be out. The view was amazing! The sun cast such a warm touch as a far as the eye could see. The sunset was beautiful. The two pictures taken below are facing west to the sun and the deep hues that are seen in the east. It truly is amazing what God has done with this earth!
