Alaska Mission Trip - Post 3

What a day we had yesterday! We took a road trip to Prince William Sound. Logged over 400 miles. Away for about 14 hours.

The trip down the Kenai Peninsula took us along Cook Inlet, through the mountains, along the sound, through a 2.5 miles one-lane tunnel. We saw mountains and rivers. Eagles and a moose. Glaciers and a cruise ship. The snow-capped mountains soaked up the sun and gave up a lot of water as the snow slowly melted.

We spent 9 hours in three airplanes to get to Alaska - the land of salmon and reindeer. Not real keen on reindeer but am looking forward to salmon or halibut or some kind of seafood. Our first meal was Mexican. It was good, real good. Just not salmon. We ate lunch in Seward. Chinese buffet. OK but not salmon. So last night, in desperation, I ordered salmon from Country Kitchen. It was good but not stamped with the Alaskan imprint I expected. I guess I panicked.

There'll be more chances, I'm sure. And I take them!

Today's a new day. New adventures. Same God.

That's the same for you. No matter what you face, God's been there. He's not surprised at what comes your way. He won't hit the panic button even if you do.

Let's have a great day!
