View from our deck yesterday morning! Wow! |
We have always taken our vacation time but usually just one week at a time. As I said, three years ago I decided to take two weeks in a row. Krystal didn't really believe that I would allow myself two weeks away from church work to enjoy a little time of relaxing. I did and we have enjoyed it very much. It seems like it takes me several days to really begin to relax and take it easy. That gives me at least another week to relax and really "wind down".
This year we have spent two weeks in Colorado and it is coming to a close. Tomorrow we'll begin our journey back toward Siloam Springs. We'll not get home tomorrow, but will begin the journey. This has been a great trip and we love making family memories. Our trip back will include stopping at the American Quarter Horse Association museum in Amarillo. It's a great place to visit.

Today we were able to tour the Parelli Horsemanship Headquarters here in Pagosa Springs. After touring the headquarters, me and Ashlyn were able to go and take a tour of the Parelli Horsemanship Campus and Ranch. Even if you aren't "into horses", it is still quite impressive. You can visit their website at www.parelli.com.
We'll be heading home soon, but we'll still have a few days of relaxing before being back with our church family this coming Sunday. It will mark our 10 year anniversary of being pastors at First Assembly of God in Siloam Springs. What a great honor and privilege it is to be part of what God is doing in these last days. I'm relaxed, refreshed and ready to get back to pastoring the great people of First AG in Siloam.
