So I just got back from the most beautiful little town called Dewberry. I know for a fact that we were really blessed to be able to come into the small town and have a good time, and I really hope that we (the Vanguard team) were a blessing to the people of the church there.
I had a great time Friday night when we first got there on Friday. They are such great kids, I was so happy to be able to talk with them and really enjoy their company as well as get to know them at the same time. I loved the youth, they are great kids.
On Saturday night after the movie at the church we went outside and saw the Northern lights. They were so beautiful. I haven't seen them in a long time. I think the last time I saw them was on my 18 birthday and I'm…oh wow I'm almost 20. What age would you consider "old" ?
Our friend Neil, from big cities will probably need therapy from his traumatic experience of just coming into the small town of 200 let alone seeing a cow being castrated. Oh and I must mention the fact that we saw the beginnings of a cow giving birth. Neil stood back to watch and I'm glad because I don’t think anyone on the team knew CPR. He found the gold fountain coming from the cow very interesting though (pee). He had hoped to get it on video.
I think the only thing that I didn’t enjoy about this weekend that I just had was the fact that I lost another hour of sleep on Sunday because of daylight savings.

Speck of dust....
Have you ever climbed up a mountain, and at the top looked down over whatever is around you? I have had that opportunity many times. I was once on the Burg Lake trail that went from Mt. Robson provincial park in BC over the border to Jasper national park in Alberta. My mom and I climbed to the top of this mountain trial and it was beautiful. One day we decided to go up a side trial for a day hike. This trail took us up another mountain right beside the one we were camped on. When we got to the very top we looked down and the huge mountain that we climbed for three days before looked so much smaller from where we were. Then we looked for the camp and the people in it looked like little specks of dust moving around.
I was in my theology class a few days ago and we talked about how big God is compared to everything. Our prof gave us an idea of how small our solar system was compared to the rest of the milky way. Yeah you couldn't hardly see our sun. So when you put the two pictures together how small do you think we are? If we look like little specks of dust from the top of a mountain then...are we even visible from outside the milky way? And God is bigger than it all. The fact that he longs to have a personal relationship with us is amazing, no, mind blowing!
