Coors Field

We arrived in Denver on Saturday so that we can participate in a two week Quiet Waters Counseling Intensive. The Counseling Intensive is 20 hours of counseling, intended to provide a place for renewal and transformational growth and change for pastor and spouse. We hope it will be a time to renew my sense of calling and passion for ministry, and a time to renew and strengthen our marriage. Our 25th anniversary will come in August, so this will be a kind of "25-year tune-up" for our marriage, and a "17-year tune-up" for my pastoral ministry.

But before the Counseling Intensive begins on Monday, Karin and I got to go to a Colorado Rockies baseball game at Coors Field - the Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants, 4-2. That's one of the baseball fields I haven't seen before, and we enjoyed the game and the field. The weather reports called for scattered thunderstorms, but other than a few sprinkles, the weather was dry. God provided again.

In addition to the Counseling Intensive, during the next two weeks here in Denver, Karin and I hope to spend some of our free time by hiking and touring some sites -- Rocky Mountain National Park, Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak, etc.
