ABC Wednesday Letter "I"
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
The letter "I" stands for incredible and inspirational. Both words capture my last two days. I just got back from a two day whirlwind trip to Mexico to visit with our high school and college group from our church. Every year our church sends our high school and college group to the Mexicali region of Mexico and this year we sent over 800 students. The students are impacting lives of the people in this region in amazing ways. This week the students will build 15 homes, 2 chapel churches, rehab 15 more homes and hold 23 vacation bible school camps through out the region.
A small group of us (4) from the church flew down on Monday morning as part of an encouragement team for the students. I really think they encouraged us more than we encouraged them. We visited many of the home building sites and camps sites during our short two days. All I can say is it was both incredible and inspirational.

Letter "F" is for Fire Pumper. This 1859 Fire Pumper named Citizen #1 is a hand built tub by Cowing & Co. of Seneca Falls, New York. It now Resides at the Historical Fire House located in Columbia State Historic Park Ca. We were lucky enough to be visiting the park on a day that they rolled this historic pumper out of the fire house so we could all get a better view.

Well I know it is not Thanksgiving time but on Saturday a family of turkeys came walking by our back fence. So what else could I do but shoot them! (with a camera of course)
