To begin with, I am back from conquering the Sawtooth Wilderness (at least the East to West approach) – it was a great trip full of adventures and beautiful scenery. Lord willing I will try to upload some pictures tonight or Saturday at the latest.
Until then, I would like to introduce you [...]

I have been part of a men’s bible study for the past few years. This is exceptional in that I have wanted to quit going many, many times over the years.
You see, this group is unlike any other bible study I’ve ever been a part of – or heard about. Instead of [...]
It is amazing how busy life can get.
You get up, go to work, come home, eat, maybe do some odd jobs, and then crash. Day in and day out.
Sunday evening was shaping up to be like that – but then my lovely bride stepped in and created a whole new experience. [...]
