Ministry in a Climatic Wonderland

Monday school was out.

Because we live in a climatic wonderland, I was able to take students sledding in the snow and then surfing at the beach, all in one day.  An hour-long drive was the only thing separating the two extreme sporting activities. 

To keep with the theme of ridiculousness, I built a jump in the snow and then modeled what not to do when you are 35 years old.

I can't help but share the moment I walked up to my Congolese refugee friend that was sporting my surfing wetsuit, both inside-out and backwards!

Finally, be reminded that you can always throw a potato in some foil and then into the coals of a fire, on a night you don't feel like cooking.

The epic environment, time in the van, and shrieks of joy all made for valuable moments of relationship building and ministry of presence with students.
