Four friends, one Jeep, lots of food, seventeen hours.
We left Grand Rapids mid day Thursday, arriving in The Badlands at 4:30 AM, bleary eyed and happy. Arriving just in time for a stunning sunrise, and cool morning hike through the incredible geological formations, with no one but Cliff Swallows for company. Every once in a while, we make plans that seem impossible, packing too many things in to a short amount of time, with too many moving parts and hundreds of possible ways for the plans to go wrong. And every once in a while God says: "Absolutely. Go for it - and I'll bless it with a few extra surprises along the way that will blow your minds. All because I love to give good gifts to my children." This is very different than what we often experience in life, which is frustrations, heartache and the general affects of a sin sick world. So enjoy those mind blowing moments, and "every good gift and every perfect gift [that] is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change" James 1:17 Give glory to that good Father of lights, and live life to the very fullest.
