And now, for the "Grand Finale" --- our last post about our trip to Colorado and the Grand Canyon. Please be sure to scroll down to see the rest of our adventure in posts 1-3.
At this point, we had arrived at Campus Crusade for Christ Staff Training at Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a great time all the U. S. Staff for Crusade get to enjoy every two years. My only wish was that it would last longer - only 10 days but what an awesome 10 days! Enjoy the pics!
One of the new things this trip to Staff Training in Fort Collins was the "FamilyLife House"! (OK, I know it looks like a tent....but it was setup inside as a house). We wanted to share with all the Crusade staff the great tools we have available to use to build marriages and families where THEY are. We are so thankful we had more than 1,400 staff tour the "house"!!
And Shawn and I served as greeters to invite folks to come in to the "FamilyLife House". We met some great folks during the two times we served as greeters!!
This is a shot of Keynote - the band (they are the "music ministry" of Campus Crusade") that led worship for all the staff for most of our time at CSU. They are incredible! I believe the Lord was sitting up in Heaven smiling as we sang and worshipped together for Staff Training!!
Another awesome treat the Lord has for us as staff were the great speakers we heard and were challenged by. This is Frances Chan who spoke twice. We had other great speakers as well!!
One of the kids favorite times of the Staff Training is called "The County Fair". They turn one of the parking lots into a carnival with rides, food, and lots of other fun!. This is one of the boys being catapulted up and down -- probably the most popular of all the fun at the fair!!
And this is the other son (I think this is Josh) seeing how many times he can flip on the way up and down. If I had done it, I would have "lost" all my food!!!
Here's another shot of our training. This is the president of Campus Crusade, Steve Douglass, as he addressed the crowd and challenged us all to share the Gospel even more passionately!!
This was truly amazing. At the Rec Center at CSU, they had a rockclimbing wall IN THE POOL! Both the boys and Sarah loved it (Caleb is on the wall in the picture). I even tried it once. Hard to get a handhold or a foothold when everything is wet!!
Here is the "lazy river" also at the Rec Center. It was a lot of fun. You can see Sarah in the middle of the picture just ahead of the innertube.
As our time was drawing to a close at Staff Training at CSU, we had to pack up the "FamilyLife House" to get it back to Little Rock. It was great as many folks (that's me in the picture) pitched in to make it all happen in a couple of hours!!
Another great reminder of WHO is really in charge - this is a sunrise over Guymon, Oklahoma!
And (drum roll please) our last pic to share in this post. This is Sarah having fun trying on a hat at a Cracker Barrel we ate at in Oklahoma. She didn't buy it but it looks cute on her!!
