This was a pretty night to be driving home from a short errand, heading east, just before sunset, on a road with little to block the sky. The first picture is of the amazing cloud formation that we saw, and we both commented on how much it reminded us of Mt. Baker, the mountain we could see from our house in Washington. (second picture) This seemed fitting on a day of travel in which we got talking about our years in the ministry in general. An unexpected bonus of the time free from normal obligations!

Arrangements are falling nicely into place for our travels later this week. This will be the big trip, the one to Charlotte, North Carolina, for a one week course on Puritan Theology at the Reformed Theological Seminary. For me it will be a one week exploration of a new area. I also have a project ready to take along to make use of my days in the hotel.

In the next day or two I will give an update on Rev.'s reading. Today I tried to convince him to help me with a little bit of weeding, just because it would sound funny to say he spent the day weeding and reading. Ok, clearly I spent too much time weeding in a bent over position and all the blood ran to my head and blurred my brain from thinking of anything interesting to write today.
