He enjoyed his time at church. It is so nice for us both to be able to worship and to be in community with the rest of the congregation. We had some difficulties getting back into the car after the service. But thanks to the help of Walt and Julie he made it in! Whew!!!
After church we picked up some fast food and headed up to Lucky Peak to see the rooster tail water that was being released from the dam. It was really spectacular. We then continued on to Idaho City. Doug had not been up this way for a very long time. He enjoyed getting out and seeing the high water in the rivers and streams. We stopped and got an ice cream in Idaho City before heading back. On the way back, Doug wanted to stop at Robie Creek. Both of us had been following the Robie Creek 1/2 marathon for many years but did not know exactly where it was. And so on the way home we took a detour when we saw the Robie Creek sign to check it out. On the way home we took another nice long look at the rooster tail along with hundreds and hundreds of people.
It was great to have an outing today with a chance to get out of town for a few hours. When we got home Doug was tired but not overtired. He was ready to rest and to watch some T.V. to finish out the day.
God of Power and Might, we see you in your people, in the power of the river, the thick forest, the deep canyons and towering mountains. We are grateful to worship you in church and in the world. Be with us this night as we rest. May we rest in peace and awake to all the beauties and challenges of the new day. In your name we ask it. Amen
