Our second trip out west this summer
My wife and I were able to make a second trip out west this summer. The first time it was just she and I, and we drove all the way to Oregon and Washington by way of the interstate highway system. Our second trip was by way of Southwest Airlines and a flight from Chicago to Denver where we rented a car and drove into the mountains with some of our family. We were very blessed to travel on this second trip with our daughter, her husband and their five kids. It was the kids’ first time flying and everything about the trip was very exciting for all of us. We loved seeing the look in the kid’s eyes when we rolled into O’Hare Field and they saw the huge jet airplanes taking off and landing. The look in their eyes when we took off and ascended above the fields and into the clouds was just priceless. It was also just amazing to drive and hike up in the mountains with

the kids as they saw these majestic sights for the first time.
Our first night was spent in Estes Park at the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. We walked around the town that night and watched the big elk strolling around the grassy areas or lying with their calves in the city parks. The next morning, we were up early and off into the mountains. As we climbed higher and higher, the air got thinner and thinner, and some of us started to feel light-headed and weak. We decided to stop and take a couple mile hike, and the sights were just magnificent. There is something rather breathtaking about gazing over the tops of the Rockies
and knowing that our great God’s fingerprints are all over the place. I was glad when we stopped and had a sandwich and something to drink because that seemed to really help with the elevation sickness for most of us. We continued on up the road and took another hike taking each of the kids by the hand and helping them navigate the way. Fortunately for us, one of my brothers lives out there near Colorado Springs where he has been pastoring a church for many years. They have a big house, so when we finished our day at Rocky Mountain National Park we were able to drive down to Springs and spend the next three nights with them. Each day we would spend time with them in the morning and then go out on our expeditions each day. Each night we returned to their house quite exhausted but so grateful for the getaway together. On the second day, we went to the Focus on the Family Ministry for
a day of fun at their kid’s center. That evening we visited the Garden of the Gods, which is the name for some beautiful red rock formations that one can drive and walk through. We got some great pictures with the kids before heading home for the day. On our last day, after worshiping at my brother’s church with him and his family, we drove to Pike’s Peak and took the Cog-rail train
some 14,000 feet up the side of the mountain to the top and again enjoyed some amazing beauty from high atop the earth. We were up early that Monday morning to catch our flight, and just like that – we were back in Chicago and heading up I-90 to Wisconsin. It is awesome to know that the words of Psalm 90:2 are so true, “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole
world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” We worship a very big and capable God. He wants us to get a glimpse of how big He really is; bigger and stronger than the highest mountain. I’m quite sure we will continue to drive out west when we can in the future, but it was very nice to fly this time and save a lot of hours of driving. Until next week, God bless.
