2014-10-20

Back to where it all began. 22 years ago I met my wife in the Dixie national forest on the slopes of Boulder Mountain near Pleasant Creek falls. This past weekend we took the family back to Boulder for a "final" family vacation. We built a fire, laughed, talked of nothing important, while I realize that things are changing.Moranne Calder my daughter enters the mtc this Wednesday and she gave a wonderful farewell talk today in church. I love what has happened since I sawLaura Lewis Calder, that cute blond on the banks of Pleasant Creek, I love where this is going, but I also feel the ache of losing my daughter to the Lord. I'm beginning to understand how Hannah of the Old Testament must have felt as she let her son, Samuel walk away towards the tabernacle with Eli. This is the great adventure of my faith, the great love of my life, and the offering of my heart.
