Mueller State Park

Mid February found the group at Mueller State Park shoeing in the winter snows. Times like this keep us mindful of God's wonderful love and mercy to us.

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, Moon, and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Shoeing near Moffat Tunnel

Our group enjoyed a beautiful, quiet snowshoe hike above the Moffat Tunnel yesterday. The hike was about three miles up to the lake and three back. It snowed most of the hike but when you're in the forest, you don't really notice it. The trees are a nice filter I think.

The fellowship was great and we enjoyed a quick lunch at the lake up near the top. It was well frozen I'm sure. We parked near the Moffat Tunnel but didn't get to see Amtrak train coming out. That would've been interesting.

Even though the trip was challenging it reminded me to not lose heart. "though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day..." So we "...look not at the things which are seen; for the things that are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Cor. 4:16ff.
