Regular readers may have noticed my absence. I have spent a few days in Brazil and Colorado. The trip to Brazil was to visit with the Teixeira family. The trip to Colorado was to preside over the Eucharist for Stephen and Shelley's wedding - which was an awesome experience, very Christ honoring.
The next day I went rafting on the Poudre (pronounced "poo-der" in the native dialect). That is me on the far left, you can only see three of us although there were eight on the raft. I wrenched my back, but stayed on board through a series of class II, III and IV rapids. It was a good thing to stay on board as there were over 4' waters (which is high for the Poudre, and it was the peak day for the year) which were about 40 degrees.
