It's time once again for the 2nd Grade Trip. For some reason, three years ago, I took Joshua away for an overnighter, and now it's tradition. Jake's been looking forward to this for a long time, so tonight he's coming with me to Sunday At 6, then he's going out to eat with me and "the guys," and then we're off!
We're staying overnight at Mission Springs, which is our local Covenant campground. It's free to pastors and staff of Covenant churches, and it's a beautiful place... right in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains, surrounded by gigantic Redwoods. Tomorrow we'll go to the world-famous (or should I say world infamous? ) Mystery Spot and then wheverever Jake wants to go. Maybe the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk or Marianne's Ice Cream. Whatever we do, I'm looking forward to some good father-son bonding.
Oh wow. I can't let this post go without recognizing the fact that it's National Porn Sunday! Kudos to Mike & Craig at www.xxxchurch.org for facing the Church's "dirty little secret" head on. Let freedom ring...
