Arizona, Where I Saw a Humongous Hole

We spent about a week and a half in Arizona, visiting Rose's parents (she has a brother there as well, who housed some of my kids--Thanks, Steve!). It is a looooooonnnnnnngggggg drive out there. I'm glad that I don't have to drive that far very often.

We attended church one Sunday at Paseo Verde Christian Church in Peoria, AZ, and the following Sunday at First Christian Church in Albuquerque, NM. We also got to visit Ricardo and Ely Quevedo (Chileans!) during a nice lunch in Mesa, AZ. Ricardo is the Spanish minister at the Chandler (AZ) Christian Church, where my friend (and boss Roger Storms ministers--Roger is a newly appointed trustee of OCC, and for that reason can be considered my boss). Ely was a very good friend of Charissa during our last years in Chile. She got to spend that Saturday night with Ely, while we were driving eastward to pass through Tulsa, OK about the same time her flight from Phoenix would land on Sunday night.

All of our kids made the trip, and one spouse (she even brought those cute grandsons with her!). We had a side trip to Sedona, AZ and the Grand Canyon (referenced in the title as a Humongous Hole). God our Father made that--what a wonder it is! Here is a photo of our adult children on the southern rim:














Peace to you all!

PS--Tomorrow I'll be busy with enrollment of new students. Rose and I took a couple hours this afternoon to see the movie World Trade Center. I think I will have to write a short blog about it.

I don't know what to think about that last comment. Who are you?

I'm not crazy about that picture, Dad. The one taken with my camera is better. If only I could get it to you! Check out my blog for more info....

Nathan said it was the biggest hole that he'd EVER seen!

Should you transliterate Pu-say-oo Ver-dee?

I said where is the picture of the grandkids! I love my kids but I love my grandkids too and they are a little cuter than my kids right now too but I do think the picture is great, Carrie. Can't wait to see your pictures too.

P.S. Dad doesn't know the person from the first comment.
