Chilly morning….even in the camper. Duh. We left the windows open all night.
Scripture this morning addresses anxiety which in todays chaotic environment sure hits home…..
25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they? 27 And which of you by worrying can add a single day to his life’s span? 28 And why are you worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you. 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Amen to that! Yesterday I turned my anxiety about any possible damage to the camper and pickup over to God. Sure makes it easier to sleep.
Plan for the day….another ride and possibly some hiking. I went on a ride up CO 325 past the fish hatchery thru Rifle Mountain Park. Wow! What beauty. The rock cliffs that line both sides of the gravel road are incredible. Lots of young adventure seekers (rock climbing boondockers there climbing the vertical cliffs. Crazy buggers (my opinion). I made it up into Forest Service roads but the gravel was hard to ride on with my hybrid. So, I rode back to get Liz. We loaded up the truck with our mountain and gravel bikes and drove back up to the fish hatchery. From there both of us meandered on our bikes thru the 5 mile cliff lined gap. Liz voted this a Top 5 ride. On the way back we stopped into the fish hatchery. Loads and loads of 4 different species of trout.
Back to the camper……shower and some downtime. I started reading Halftime by Bob Buford. Will be a good book given where are.
Cooked up some fried bread in bacon lard (yum) to go along with Liz’s green chili chicken dish. Had to go for a walk after dinner.
Campfire tonight we hope. Was windy before….looks to be dying down. Looking forward to seeing the stars again like last night.
