Every now and then, I catch myself saying that this was a traveling month....but when I really think about it, they are ALL traveling months! BJ spent a week in Indiana teaching a horsemanship clinic at OK Miller Farms. This group of students listened well and worked hard, and BJ enjoyed working with each one of them. But, if truth be told, his favorite students were an 11yo girl named Layla and her mule Joey. Layla gave the clinic her all, and by the end of it, she and Joey were better partners for it. In addition to devotions with all of the clinic participants, BJ also had the opportunity to partner with the King’s Horseman, an outreach of Global Impact Ministries, for a service at Tippecanoe State Park. Isn’t it a beautiful thing to know that the Gospel is not confined to a particular person, place or building? It travels anywhere that Christ followers are willing to take it.

We checked off a MAJOR bucket list item this month... by celebrating our 18th anniversary with a trip to Alaska. I can’t express what an adventure this was. We saw the Northern Lights and Dawes Glacier, watched salmon swim upstream, took a train ride through the historic White Pass, and explored beautiful towns like Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. BJ studied for sermons, and I re-read classics by L.M. Montgomery. Every single thing about this trip was incredible and exactly what we needed.
