Answered Prayers

After getting back to Texas and presenting at a Bible class, I have had time to think more about our trip. Although I know our group knew many of our prayers were answered, it seems appropriate to aknowledge them publicly. I'll start a list and other can add as they want.

- Safe travel back and forth by plane
- Avoiding moose on the roads (if people in the hill country are afraid of hitting a 100 lb deer, what happens if you hit a 1500 lb moose)
- Finishing our entire work project
- Nobody getting sick (3 hours of sleep and working all day - wow, God answered that prayer in a big way)
- Tempers staying in check and the group staying united (wow, amazing answer here too - what a great team we had)
- Seeing wildlife (the grizzly at the end was emotional for a lot of us - we were 6 miles from leaving Denali and about to leave, and then we see those cars pulled over with binoculars out...)
- Prayers for locals (in some cases we'll have to see how God works in their lives...many of them continue to be in our prayers)
- Prayers over our food (no allergic reactions, etc.)
- No injuries (power saws, etc., it happens of course, but our group still has 110 fingers)
- Rest and relaxation for Pastor Todd, Kim, and kids (they will stay in our prayers)
- Safety for those back home in Texas (especially my family!!!)
- Good news from Emily's mom (that was a good phone call for Emily to get)
- Spiritual growth in all of us (may God not stop this process now that we're back)
