Greetings from the Eastern Sierras!

A bunch of Christ Reformed folk have been having a blast this week in the Mammoth Lakes/Eastern Sierras area.  We've enjoyed some great food, great conversation, great scenery, and some good hiking.  Here are a few of the kids who made the hike with us to Emerald Lake.  Some of the more adventurous (and fit) in our group did the Duck Pass hike (10.5 miles and a gain of 1500 feet in elevation).

I have a very poor Internet connection where I am staying, so I haven't been able to update much this week.

Lord willing, I will return to my regular duties on Monday.

A poor internet connection is the only guarantee of a real vacation. Enjoy.

Why on earth are you posting amidst such a place as that????? You must be absolutely out of your mind. When I take people out on a wilderness trip, I make one thing very clear: absolutely no electronic devices are allowed (that goes for GPS devices too).

What a nice picture -- a baker's half-dozen of Covenant Children!

Hey Pastor Kim: Feel free to update your website on your vacation! Luther never took a vacation -- he was too busy taking on the Pope, teaching and drinking a tall cool one! (His wife's home brew.)

"...Luther never took a vacation -- he was too busy taking on the Pope, teaching and drinking a tall cool one! (His wife's home brew.)..."

Indeed he did! And apparently thought very highly of her brewing skills, as well.

But he was careful to advocate moderation along with consumption in his typical unique style of writing (filled with threats, denouncement, and judgements) ;-)

George:

Thanks for the great website! I actually have a fellow council member that makes his own home brew. I will bring him this article to our meeting Sunday night. (We also never have a church potluck without sauerkraut!)

We went from vacation to home brew beer. Don't give pastor Kim any ideas. He just might ask Micki to start brewing beer. Who knows maybe it would taste better as I am not a beer drinker.
