Update

Let's see... The last I really updated was when I was in Colorado right

after experiencing the Red Mesa Revival....

From there I went to Four Corners and stood in four different states. It

was a good place and I got to take some interesting pictures. From there I

headed into Colorado and made it to Cortez. I stopped at a visitor's center

and had a couple of interesting conversations as I ate my pb and j

breakfast. I headed out of town and noticed a church by the highway.

This was a non-denominational church with an impressive, canvas

stretched sanctuary. I ended up talking to a contractor there who told me

all about the construction and about the church. Very interesting and

something I may look into for the future. The pastor spoke on family and

family roles and doing things as a family. It was good and definitely

practical. I could tell this guy likes to give out things that you can get your

fingers on.

From there I just started driving and eventually ended up staying in a

campsite by tiny Lake Capote (so small it's not on the road map). That

was a very relaxing campsite without anyone around.

I headed out from there to make my way northeast. The scenery of

southwest Colorado is amazing and I definitely have some new images to

go with the word Majestic! My intention was to try to get to Cripple Creek

and Colorado Springs, but by the time I reached Canon City I was

exhausted and grabbed a motel.

The next morning I went back to Royal Gorge, but it was built up and most

definitely a tourist trap. After refusing to pay the 24 dollars entrance fee, I

went to the viewpoint and got a view of the bridge. Kinda would have liked

to go on the bridge, but that wasn't practical.

I went to a Rock Shop (yes, the geology kind) and browsed for a bit. I

was going to then return to my idea of heading to Cripple Creek, but I just

didn't feel like that was the direction God wanted me to go. I sat and

prayed about it and since the only leading I got was to go to Kansas City

and the International House Of Prayer, that's what I did. Took me a day

and a half on mostly back highways.

I hung out a bit at the City Market there in Kansas City. I was struck by how many ethnic stores were there. Was I just blind to it in Eugene??

Then I leisurely made my way to the IHOP. Kansas City is big, but quite interesting and I rather liked it.

The IHOP is a place dedicated to prayer and worship 24/7. They have pretty much an entire strip mall with the chapel, coffee, bookstore, and, get this, a reality. I went in and immediately felt peace and power. They have it structured where each worship team plays for two hours and then they switch without interrupting the flow. The Presence of the Lord was there and I did a lot of soaking and worship. Six hours actually. Very, very, very refreshing and good for me to refocus.

While there I managed to get ahold of my friend Brian Rach. We went out and got chinese and had a really good discussion. It was good to reconnect.

Then I felt like I was released from staying in KC and was allowed to get on the Interstate and head to my friends in St. Louis.

And with that I have to go. Limited time online.

So without elaboration: I'm moving to Butte and am leaving Butte in the morning to go to Eugene and get my stuff.

I'll try to tell more later.
