Those snow capped mountains were, in fact, clouds. But we did see a few peaks with "trails" of snow. Streaks of white against the brown and green. Will post pictures soon.
We left DFW late so our 1-hour rest period in Portland turned into 20 minutes of hustle from gate to gate. That wasn't too bad except we've not eaten in over 4 hours and didn't have time to pick up anything. Terry's baggie of trail mix was looking pretty good!
But we let Terry keep his snack and I bought Riley the Kid's Snack on the plane. We split it. He's playing with wax pipe cleaners now. Don't tell his mother, but she's getting a couple of snazzy gifts when we get home! And they came from Alaska Airlines. That counts as an Alaskan souvenir, doesn't it?
We are ready to spend some time on the ground! Sight-seeing is on the agenda for Friday and Saturday. We'll worship in Wasilla Sunday with Fairview Loop Baptist Church, then get to work bright and early Monday.
Well, probably not since we are in the land of endless summer days. "Bright and early" may come shortly after midnight. But some go-getter will wake us up earlier than I'm used to getting up.
"We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV)
The men with me are doing work produced by their faith. They will labor because they love the Lord and his mission. They will endure as they hope in the Lord. Please pray for us over the next 10 days.
