The Importance of Team
Creation Encounter trips are a group effort; and this year the importance of a team really hit home.
Special thanks is due for the expertise and commitment of Steve Sparkowich, Steve Hayley, Dennis Bokovoy, Brent Carter, Keith Swenson, Lloyd Anderson, and of course my wife, Rhea, for her constant support.
Also thanks to Velma Brunt for her multi-tasking and bringing history to life with her campfire appearances of "Mountain Mike" and "Indian Joe."

Seeing the Unseen in the Seen – Romans 1:20
Romans 1:20 says that one of the ways that God uses His creation is to give us insight into His own attributes.
This summer we saw eagles and a huge nest, high on a cliff wall.
Deuteronomy 32:11 talks about eagles to illustrate God's care for Israel.
Apparently, at the right time, a mother will "stir up" her nest until a grown youngster falls out and straight down, flapping its wings as it goes.
However, if rescue is needed, the parent "spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions…"
What lessons do you see in this illustration? (see
