Score one for the home team!

I have to admit tonights political discussion group knocked it out of the park. Being in Denver had is perks and daily I ponder the possibility of coming home or staying a little longer. With every moment you could ask me and the answer would be different. But tonight the home team scored some major points...

Tonight I came home to KC and decided to surprise a couple of friends at our monthly political discussion group. I started the group about 9 months ago to get us talking about the next election (selfishly to get me to read up and be more informed). I should of been gone for the rest of them, since I recently moved to Denver, however as timing would work out, I happened upon a beauty.

I think the new faces brought some great new perspectives that elevated the greatness. This is what its all about. A room full of people who really do want to see change. Not just a politician that can change things, but they want to see change in the lives of the people around them, even if it means that they have to do some of work. I pray that this community continues to come together to talk lifes issues, whether it be political, social, spiritual or whatever. I am hopeful that we really can challenge one another to BE the change that we want to see in the world. I hope that we all really can find the one thing we feel passionate about and put our efforts towards making something happen.

At Last!!

The countryside has a little more texture around here :)

Today I finally made my way to Roxborough State Park and hiked a 6.5 mile trail to the top of what they probably consider a boulder around here. In Kansas this would be considered Pike's Peak, but here its the foothills. God certainly was creative when He was doing His work.

My crazy biology mind looks at these red rocks and wonders about how they were formed and what they are made of...and the ever present question in biology, "what is there evolutionary significants?" But today I just said, those are Damn pretty rocks :) well, not really, but that would of been funny!

My friend Jill (a friend from college who I happened to run into at the good ole local coffee shop - I love Wash Perk!) got to enjoy the damn pretty rocks with me.
