Of Church & Wolves

Well, we haven't been educating you much on our life lately. So here goes... We have two great churches here in northern Michigan. This past Sabbath Christian decided to preach in both of them. That means we left the house about 8am and traveled to Onaway, which is an hour away. He preached and about 10:30am we were in the car making the trek back to Alpena for sermon #2. I'm the Sabbath driver so Christian can go over his sermon and pray while we travel. It's a beautiful drive through the woods almost the whole way. Sometimes we see deer and one time we saw two elk! That was so exciting! Now I'm just waiting to see a bear.
Which reminds me, by the way, that I saw a wolf in our yard last week! When I saw it, I couldn't believe my eyes! It looked exactly like the one in the picture here. I'd never actually seen one before, but after looking at many pictures and comparing wolf and coyote pictures, I KNOW it was a grey wolf. That was a treat, but I hope it doesn't hang out in our neighborhood too often! We are blessed to live in such a beautiful and somewhat remote area of Michigan. The only thing we lack are the mountains. But we make up for that with beautiful Lake Huron being just a mile away. Not only does the beauty of nature bring us joy, but also being part of the wonderful family of God, which we get to enjoy especially in the people that make up our two churches: Alpena & Onaway.
