Adventure

Life is boring without adventure. This past week I have had three adventures. The first was last Saturday. I took Cahill, one of the young men in our youth department, paddling. We loaded up the 'yaks and headed to Middle Creek Lake south of Louisburg, KS. We put in at the boat ramp and followed Middle Creek as far as we could. We were within two miles of the Missouri state line. We saw huge turtles floating on the surface, huge carp sunbathing in the shallows, and just had a generally pleasant afternoon paddling. The second adventure was Monday as I paddled my favorite lake Hillsdale. I put in at the Antioch boat ramp and made a round trip around the island on the south side of the lake. Yes, there is a small island at the lake. (See the picture). I also followed a small unnamed creek as far as physically possible. (See the picture. This was another pleasant day on the lake. The third adventure will take place this afternoon as Kaitlin and I will bike around the hiking trail at Hillsdale Lake. Kaitlin is out of school and Deb is still finishing out the week at Trojan Elementary, so we are going biking. O.K., these are not the most dangerous adventures, but they do break up the monotony of the routine. Incidentally, if you are bored with your Christian life, why don't you go out and give the gospel to several people. I promise you will have all the adventure and excitement you can handle.
