You will find a slide show posted here. However you may notice that there are no actual Dragon Boating Pictures. That's cuz I was buzyt paddling like a mad woman! Send your photos to me and I will add them to the slide show. It was a great weekend, ladies! I feel blessed to know each and everyone of you!

Living in Christ & Mountain Top Experiences
Philippians 1:27 Whatever happens, Conduct yourselves worthy of the Gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit contending as one man for the faith of the gospel
In order to live in Christ and stand firm in the gospel as this text encourages us to do, we all need spiritual refueling, we need to be recharged, we need to visit the wise man on top of the mountain for some answers. Jesus went to the mountain top to pray, Noah’s Ark came to rest there, Moses experienced the burning bush there. It’s a thin place between heaven and earth,. We feel as if we can reach out and touch the hand of God. That’s great, do it. Go to the mountain top.
But we can’t live on a mountain top, the air molecules are very far apart and there are no trees, like the moon a great place to visit but you just can’t live there. We are charged to go out, to be salt and light, be in the world and not of it. Be the gospel!
Lord, Please grant me the opportunity for a mountain top experience, wherever I may be. Fill me up so that I can be a blessing in your world. Amen.

Kayak and Canoe the St. Croix River
What a great day. Perfect temperatures. Great companionship. And a hefty amount of wind to make us feel out on the edge! The gals created a wonderful buffet on my overturned kayak and we feasted on all of it. Thank you to all 11 intrepid travelers.

St. Croix Kayak and Canoe, This Sunday.
The forecast call for... Well a little prayer might be in order here. But isolated means hit ot miss to me. Just adds to the adventure. There are nearly 10 signed up. We plan go from Taylors Falls to Oceola. If the river is still high and the current fast, maybe we will go all the way to William O'Brien State Park. We can meet at the canoe launch at Interstate Park.
Here is a map.
