Pastoral Corner
July 15th 2012
Summer Vacation can be a change of scene, and an opportunity for new experiences, or it can be a time to visit family and friends, or both. As always, God accompanies us wherever we are, and gives us opportunities for rest and also good works. This Summer I am looking forward to a new experience and to a time for a good visit with family. The first week of my two weeks of vacation I will be on a tour of Glacier Park in northwestern Montana. I expect to have a chance to see some awesome and beautiful sights, and to meet a group of new people who will be touring with me. Whenever I see the wondrous sights of Gods Creation, I am filled with wonder and gratitude. Who are we that God would consider each one of us to be worthy of the love and sacrifice of his Son, in the light of this hugely awesome beauty; yet He loves each of us. God created the world

closer to intimate family. It will be a time of s stories, and of mutual encouragement and appr for a shared family history. As we all grow olde also aware that I cannot take for granted that w always be able to be with each other in this wo ask God to help us find joy and peace in family while we can. I look forward to some wonderfu my sister is a very good cook, and to spending t alongside her helping to prepare meals to share bounty and His tasty natural nourishment. Foo body and for the soul. God is our constant and creative companion! May your Summer months of His peace and new gifts!

From what I have read about the shrinking of the worlds glaciers, I will be thinking of the part that I may be playing in causing the global warming that is melting these beautiful glaciers, even as I give thanks for their beauty, and try to photograph them for keeping them in my memory, for they may be gone soon. This week of touring will also be a chance to interact with other people on the tour, and I am very aware that God calls each of us to everywhere, and always, be witnesses to his love. As I prepare for these days, I pray that God will keep my mind and heart open to opportunities to show His goodness to those I am with. How can my gratitude to God for this beauty be communicated to my traveling companions with a sense of simple enjoyment. O God, make me a good listener and an instrument of your peace! For the second week of my vacation, I will not be doing much traveling, and will mostly be with members of my family who live in New Mexico. The change of scenery will include a drastic change in climate, from mountains to high desert in Albuquerque. I will be spending much of my time relaxing with my closest sister and her husband and grown children. I will also visit with cousins, and my Aunt Mary, who is 97 years old. God will still be my constant companion, but THIS time as I grow
