Keeping up with Life

Our ministry at Pagosa Bible Church is growing! People keep coming to the church and it is fun to see what God is doing. We know God’s doing it, as Tom said jokingly “I have no clue of what to do.” With that said people are coming to the Lord and to the church. The new church building is nearing completion. It is going so well they even put TJ to work on a loader. The church will seat 420 so be praying we reach more of those lost folks.


Johanna came to town for a few days. It was no surprise she left a day early after all the hiking and kids wanting stories and grandma time. Come back mom, we love you….

We were able to take our first vacation after moving back to Colorado. Moose were our objective so off to Grand Lake Colorado. The first day we encountered two bulls and man were they powerful looking animals. Laura tried to get Sydney to stand next to one, but the ranger thought it would not be a good idea.
After numerous moose, elk, deer, and mountain goats encounters we headed to Denver for an urban vacation. We hit the malls, shops, choice chain restaurants, and of course the Brown Palace. We were able to leave the kids with Laura’s parents (thanks mom and dad) and go on a few dates. The highlight was the Brown Palace where Tom asked Laura to humble herself and marry him 7 years ago. We ate and were treated like royalty…it only cost us …don’t ask.

On the way back home we stopped at Santa’s Workshop for some wild crazy birthday fun. Sydney turned 3 and she did it in style. The thing that goes around in a circle was her favorite ride…I think they all did that.

With ear plugs in, the peddle to the floor and with some sanity left we made it home in one piece; back to the full-time vacation of Pagosa Springs. When we crossed Wolf Creek Pass our first thought was why did we ever leave? I guess we’ll endure living here. God is working here and blessing us and we pray He is blessing you.
