Alaska Mission Trip - Post 1

I'm 30,000 feet above Texas or New Mexico or Colorado. Headed to Portland, Oregon then on to Anchorage. Final destination today: Wasilla, AK. I hear that you can see Russia from there.

A group of seven from Cross Road Baptist Church will join with about 40 others from Pulaski Baptist Association to begin construction on a building for Fairview Loop Baptist Church. A group from PBA helped construct an education building several years ago. Now for the sanctuary.

As I watch the flat farmland and cattle farms give way to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, I am impressed with the beauty of God's creation. The dry Spring has left the quilt beneath me mostly brown. The irrigated plots were easy to identify. As the terrain changes, the shadows cast by the rolling hills add a new dimension to both topography and color.

Clouds at the horizon appear to be snow capped mountains. Not likely on this last day of May in Texas or New Mexico but maybe Colorado.

It's turned out to be a pretty day for flying. God is showing off his handiwork. He's awesome and his creative power is amazing.
