the searbys

We found out yesterday one of those truths about being at a small church. If too many people get sick AND take vacation on the same weekend, the church feels empty! We had exactly half the amount of people that we had last week, all due to sickness and people being out of town. I guess it's better than everyone being gone because they don't like my preaching! But the day was a great one nonetheless.

On Saturday we went to Devil's Millhopper State Geological site which is a giant sinkhole. It has waterfalls cascading into it and a nature trail around the rim. There's also a boardwalk that has steps (lots of them) down into the sinkhole so that you can go to the bottom and enjoy the waterfalls. Then we went to San Felasco state park and hiked a while on their nature trails. They have a lot longer trails available for horseback riding and biking as well. It was really great to just be out in God's creation and be quiet together. We didn't realize how much we missed being outside until we got out there and just felt so peaceful and relaxed. It was really nice.

Hope everyone has a great week. The time change is nice. It's actually light outside now when I open the coffee shop. At least I can see the customer's faces!
