Where the Whale and the Polar Bear Run

Man I love me some John Denver

It has been quite awhile since I told you what is going on with Polly and I. So here we go...
We've gotten settled in to our apartment nicely.  After cooking with a headlamp, sleeping on camp beds, and having to look at a wall full of star wars posters for 3 weeks; we bought a nice bed off of craisglist, got our kitchen light fixed, and our wall tapestry from urban outfitters arrived to cover up yoda (I was just thankful that Jabba-the-hut wasn't on a poster).

Meanwhile.

Polly and I hiked out the the ice caves at the Mendenhall Glacier and had us a nice little pick nick.

We went kayaking with our dear friend Mary.

We built a fire on sandy beach and watched a beautiful sunset.

We hung out with Josh, Kyle, and our new friend Ann on the docks at Auk Bay

We have packaged and sold too many bars of soap to count.

We got to hangout with Scott when he came to Juneau and stayed a couple of nights with us.

And lately we've been doing some salmon fishing.

This week we have been working a lot more than usual because Mrs. Pat and Mr. Jimmie took their youth group on a mission trip to Palmer, AK.

I am looking forward to getting out into some nature more in July because we have just gotten used to our apartment and work routine.

It has been such a blessing for us to be here.  We have experienced a lot of stress relief and a nice break from lives of business and being pulled in many different directions at the same time.  Nowadays, work pulls me 6 blocks down the hill from my apartment 5 days a week, and the only other pull I feel is nature.  The good thing about nature in Alaska during the summer is that I've got an 18 hour window of time to see to it everyday.

I really really wish you (yes you, whoever you are) would come up here and experience life in Juneau with us.

To finish out this blog, I want to tell you about something that happened yesterday...

A friend of mine and Polly's stopped by the soap shop yesterday and told us about a conversation that she had with one of her co-workers.  The co-worker asked our friend, "Do you really believe all of it (the Bible)?" 

"yes"

"really?"

"yes"

"all of it?"

"yes!"


That made me smile.

So

Do you really believe all of it?

really?...All of it?
