Hot Hot Hot In The High Sierras

We're in our third consecutive day of 100+ degree weather up here (2,500 feet up in the foothills of the High Sierra Mountains in California). Hard to believe, but true, with three more days predicted to reach 99 degrees. This is rather unusual for the Sierra Foothills...Karen and I are thankful for air-conditioning and the low humidity. It may be 100+ but with a humidity level of only 14%...it's bearable to sit in the shade (of 100 foot tall Pine, Black Oak, and Cedar trees) and read a book. In Ohio...you wouldn't DARE go outside in temps like this because you'd drown.

This wraps up our fourth week of visiting with friends, supporters, prayer partners, churches, committees, Bible study groups, and sharing our ministry with prospective partners. The next two weeks are rather structured right up to our return to Sacramento Airport on the 27th--for our early AM return to Ohio on the 28th. Six weeks is a long time in one sense and yet not near enough time in another.

Our photos from the portrait session with Sue McCarley turned out fantastic! Here are some of the portraits from our time together at Empire Mine State Historic Park (about five minutes from where we're blessed to be living).

Sue, (and Scarlet, Sue's photographic assistant) thanks again for making that afternoon at the mine so special!
