36 Days and 8,000+ Miles

, Life on the mountain is peaceful. The katydids have recently begun their back-to-school song katydid katydid katydidn't, the pink coneflowers are attracting loads of fritillaries and monarchs, the stone wall chipmunk is treating himself to a daily ripe tomato leaving only skin and seeds, and 27 turkeys frequent the lawn for the doves' corn. We are enjoying being back home, having driven a Chevy S-10 to Alaska and back for the first five weeks of the summer. Paul and Katrina came back from Tanzania in June due to greencard issues, housesat for us, and are now spending part of their last days stateside teaching me to blog. Thanks, guys.

Let's face it. One of the main reasons we headed off was to see MOOSE. We started looking in Montana, then Idaho, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon Territory, Alaska.... Aside from a roadkill in BC, we'd seen zilch. I was beginning to be depressed when the thought "In His time" popped into my head. Other scriptures soon followed:
God will provide a lamb, er.... moose. Genesis 22:8
I go to prepare a place, ummm, moose, for you. John 14:2
From that moment on, it was an adventure, to see what God had for us that day. It may be the most peace I've ever felt. ...and the moose that had been prepared near Anchor Point, Alaska walked to within forty feet of the truck with her two babies.
