I was with a friend this weekend who came into town and has a love for the wilderness like I do. We were talking about what we have experienced with God when we are away from everything (email, phone, busyness of the city). My son and I were sitting eating breakfast at his favorite restaurant that has a slide, before heading to school, and I have a habit of asking him questions about life and I asked him what his favorite thing to do for fun was. He answered riding bizicles (bicycles), although he has never ridden a bike. Then he asks me the same question, he is thoughtful like that. I told him I like hiking and being in the wilderness, to this he throws back his head and laughs and says, "You're silly daddy". Many others have had that same reaction when I have told them where God is leading me in life. I truly believe God is allowing me to have the most fun I could have with Him by taking at-risk youth into the backcountry away from the normal routine of life and allowing their crisis of life to collide with Christ love, acceptance, and mercy! I am grateful that God is allowing me to be apart of what He is doing in Denver.
