Just about ready to buzz out the door to do my early morning workout at Fitness19 here in Parker, CO, I checked email, because of some major Skyping I will be doing later to a meeting in the Philippines with Compassion International. This is what I found on one of the emails (referring to our Saturday hike, pics included in here two emails ago):
Wes and Judy, We were hiking up Ouzel Falls trail at about noon on Saturday, August 27th, and we met you coming down the trail just above Calypso Cascades. I thought it was you, but I wasn't sure because we have not seen each other for over 20 years. I am very sorry that I didn't recoginze you sooner and say Hello. That was such a beautiful day to enjoy the beauty of the Rockies. God has created a wonderful world for us to enjoy! Thanks for sharing your photos. Ed and Cathy
Nice to have witnesses that we were "actually doing it." :-) This would have been just about the spot we spied each other. What a kick! And yes, we've not been in each other's presence for about 20 years (met them in Nebraska when doing some speaking years ago).
This good couple has been on our "Monday encouragement list" for the work we do for years. We are most grateful. And this wild olde man stands here amazed, one more time, at the deep and faithful blessing of others in our lives over the years. Amazing grace...if ever!!! :-)
Now...which of you hardy souls wants to do one more hike with us yet this late summer/early fall? We might as well make it a "trail party" before the fall/winter snows begin to blow in.
Seriously.......like, what about taking a good stroll together on Saturday, September 24...weather permitting? At our speed you can do it.
