We are sitting in a starbucks near Burmingham Alabama. We arrived at Horse Pens 40 early this afternoon, and have since spent a rather layed back afternoon. The weather is simply bad. It has rained all day and just recently decited to stop. There are icicles hanging of the topouts of most of the problems!!! It's crazy! Right now calvin is letting people know that we are moving the event to Sunday... hoping that by then the temps will improve and the boulders will dry out a bit...
For now I think finding a gym is our top priority. Torrey and I are itching to climb again! We did get a bit of sport climbing in, at Little River Canyon. But the combination of frigid temps, numb fingers, and then the unexpected appearence of snow! Made the entire experience more of an alpine adventure then the anticipated sport cranking we had somehow built up in our minds...
Seriously!!! Snow!!! In Alabama????
Anyway that's where we are at now...
Keep you posted!

Chandler Mountain Event
Heading down to Horse Pens 40 in Alabama, for the Chandler Mountain event.
Leaving Wednesday Morning with Calvin Landrus, and Torrey Piatt. Really excited to experience some of the climbing down south.
We will be helping out with the event on Saturday. Calvin will be giving some talks about his recent climbing mission trips. And Torrey and I are going along for the ride I guess!
I would give more details if I knew anymore, but that's pretty much it. We will be heading out to some sport climbing areas here and there, and I am very excited to get away from our small, sharp, and tecnical backyard playground of Smith Rock.
Please pray for the trip. That God would use us for his glory in some way.

Meaning of Life Quotes
This are some quotes from my Philosophy class. What I think the meaning of life is. Thanks Auntie Rose and Rick!
Meaning of life quotes from Renuka P.
"Man's chief and highest end is to glorify God and to fully enjoy him forever."
Rose Peterson
For me, as a Christian, this quote means a great deal. To me it means that the meaning of life is to glorify God in everything I do. In the way I treat my family and the people around me. This includes everyone I meet or see on a day to day basis. As a Christian, it is my job to show God's love to everyone around me. It is my hope that people will know I'm a Christian by the way I live my life and the kindness I will hopefully show.
"To be Christ's hands and feet in an unjust world."
Rick Gerhardt (my future father-in-law)
Another quote I have found to mean the meaning of life for me. This quote to me says the meaning of life is to not only show God's, (and Jesus'), love to everyone I meet; but also to help those who cannot help themselves. To protect the widows and orphans, as it were. Our job is to do what Jesus is not here to physically do, to be his agents.
