goose pimples

One of the highlights of this trip was visiting the cow pasture where I was called to ministry. I got goose pimples just walking through it again. It's hallowed ground for me. It's a long story, but a prayer walk through a cow pasture near Lake Ida (Alexandria, Minnesota) totally changed the trajectory of my life in August of 1989. That's where I knew I was called to ministry. It's cool to have a place like that to return to. It's my Bethel or Damascus road.

I spent some time praying there and then we did a photo shoot. I was trying to find a photographer and then I found out that my cousin-in-law, Dave Schmidgall, was going to be driving through Minnesota the same day I was there! So he took a two-hour detour to take some pictures!

I'm turning that cow pasture into my decor in my new office. I'm tired of art that is pretty but has no significance or meaning in my life. I want art that says something about who I am. I want art that says something about my life. So there is going to be a picture of a cow pasture on my wall somewhere!

I'll post some pictures once I get them.

Cool! I will get some art of the junior high rec room. That is where I invited Christ into my heart. The stained carpet, and youth coloring should be the perfect framed photo for our living room.
