Fat Tires and Fruita
Not the beer, apples and oranges but bikes and a famous biking town......
We headed to Fruita, Colorado, last Friday which is located just west of Grand Junction by 10 miles and believe me, when you're deprived of little things like good hair-cuts and oil changes, Grand Junction begins to look like a metropolis. The town has a lot to offer us Rez Rats so we hit the mall hard and we enjoyed pizza and beer at Old Chicago Restaurant. We met up with Brian and Holly and rode the famous Fruita single-track trails on Saturday. It was strenuous, fun and most of all, the fellowship was much needed. Late that afternoon we drove another hour to Glenwood Springs and took a dip in the largest hot springs around. We even got to visit a river-rat friend, Joe Molica, and his fiance Connie at their beautiful new mountain home. Wow!
It has been a long time since we've been in an English speaking church, so Sunday morning service in Carbondale, Colorado, recharged us with encouragement and hope! Not necessarily hope that our church will be exactly the same as that church, but that lives CAN be changed! This Sunday our church, Tsaile Community Church, will be hosting the annual Thanksgiving Dinner. The scene looks like this: About 300 people show up but be reminded, only about 70 actually attend the church. If advertisement like this could only be mimicked.....we still don't know how all these people find out. It's a MAD HOUSE all in the name of food! CRAZY.
No pictures this time.....we forgot to use our camera last weekend.
We hope your Thanksgiving is filled with goodness, family fun, food and most importantly, THANKFULNESS!!
By the way, thank you for your comments. They brought smiles and laughter.
