Whitewater Rafting!

I named this trip "The Final Countdown" as I recognized the fact that death was very much a possibility with all those rapids on the White Salmon River in WA. I love rafting as much as I love the idea of bungee jumping off Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe-which is quite a lot! So when Athena, Heather, James, Rich, Beth and I hit the water, I knew that we'd have the time of our lives. Great group of people, great water, and gorgeous weather. I am sore, physically and emotionally exhausted, but dear God, it was worth every minute of it. And as is customary at the end of every rafting trip, I wanted to relive the entire adventure minutes after it was all over. ESPECIALLY the last part--Husom Falls Rocks!
Thanks Rich for organizing this trip!

Let Him love you...

I watch with great sorrow as those I love choose death as though it beckons with promises of prosperity. Daily I see the wilting leaves, the wasted lives, the broken hearts. Pointless, useless, demonic choices.

Will they not let Him love them? -Jer. 31:3
