DAY TWO
"You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something."
"All the evidence available in the biological sciences supports the core proposition...that the cosmos is a specially designed whole with life and mankind as its fundamental goal and purpose, a whole in which all facets of reality have their meaning and explanation in this central fact."
Dr. Micheal Denton
You are who you are for a reason.
You're past of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And the bear the Master's seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!

Day One
"Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose."
There has been so much activity in the past few months that I haven't really taken the time to collect all of my thoughts and reflect on them. Now that the Fall semester is done and in the books, I was hoping that the clarity that I had found this summer would come back to me. I honestly believe that it is beginning to and am very grateful for that. By trying to understand what is going on inside and around me makes me wonder and observe so many things.
Last week I witnessed an extremely humbling site. I was at home, busy as all get out, trying to get things done being it was the last week of the semester and finals week. I had lost sight of the big picture and was quickly reminded of how truly blessed I am, for all things great and small in my life. I heard the dogs barking in the pen and just happened to glance out to see what all the commotion was about, which is not abnormal for Sam and Riley, they are very good watch dogs. I saw Sam was at the back of the pen and was baying pretty stoutly. I looked across the alley and saw a man dressed in a long black trench coat with his little dog under his arm rummaging through my neighbors trash. Now I am not trying to stereotype, but the signs seemed obvious, he was economically less fortunate that I. I was so humbled to think how blessed am I that I have a roof over my head and enough food to fill my belly. I realized he was rummaging for treasures. Now I don't mean dumpster diving, where people find good used items to refurbish or sell as is, I mean rummaging for scraps of food. I noticed he had found some things he thought were worth while, fed one or two morsels to his dog and placed the rest in a plastic bag that he found in the garbage can. I had an overwhelming feeling come over me! I could not believe that I had lost sight of such blessing that have been before me to make the lesson have to have that large of a magnitude. I have seen and interacted with many homeless people in my lifetime, from hustlers, beggars, con artists, and genuine 'down on there luck' homeless people. Some of them have left an impact on me while others have not. In one of my earlier posts from Seattle this summer I had such an occurrence with a gentleman and elaborated on it.
Witnessing this man rummaging through my neighbors garbage stopped me dead in my tracks and Thank God for everything I have. Everyone has hardships in their life. I feel I can honestly say that I have had a pretty good life, all things considered and am grateful and very blessed to have experienced what I have in my life.
I have been searching for quite some time, of how I fit into this world. With the calmness of the winter break I am going to try and extend my search and see where I end up. Many things have occurred at times when they were appropriate lately (the last year or two). I have witnessed many things that I can not simply 'chalk up' to coincidence any longer and need to search for the meaning, which I already am suspect to the importance.
I would like to extend a holiday blessing to all of my fellow brother's and sisters, not only during the holiday season, but each and everyday. May you all be with your loved ones and family during this special time of the year. May all of your travels be safe and when you break bread realize the importance of it and give Thanks for your blessings!
Have a safe and happy holiday season and may all of our protectors make it home safely to once again get to experience their families as we do ours while they make the ultimate sacrifice for you and I.
God Bless!!

Give your two cents worth...
This week I went to a debate over Human Space Exploration. I have to say I was very intrigued. Not something that I would have initially had an opinion about but after sitting and listening to it, there were some very good points that were brought up. I am just curious, if you have a few spare minutes (like we are all just so bored and have all the free time in the world right?), put in your two cents worth. Sometimes just thinking about a topic off of our normal day-to-day topics will stimulate and cultivate the mind to alternative trains of thought and may relieve a bit of stress and help calm the mind by processes of thought. Maybe...
This is the summary for the side of opposition:
The advancement of Science Argument-
1) Given that resources for space exploration are limited, money should not be put into MANNED space missions as opposed to UNMANNED space missions, unless science can be expected to advance faster this way.
2) Science cannot be expected to advance fastest this way. (MANNED missions)
3) For now, therefore, manned space missions that go beyond providing support for the unmanned ones should NOT be funded.
The Practical Argument-
1) Manned spaced missions that aim to establish permanent human settlements in environments lacking breathable atmosphere are in the end doomed to fail unless we have an energy-efficient way to generate a breathable atmosphere from non-breathable substances. (Air loss through leaks, even it if it kept to a minimum, are for all practical purposes permanent, and mechanical systems can be counted on to be imperfect.)
2) We lack an energy-efficient way to generate a breathable atmosphere from non-breathable substances.
3) It is wrong to fund space missions that are in the end doomed to fail.
4) For now, therefor, manned space missions that aim to establish permanent human settlements in environments lacking a breathable atmosphere should not be funded.
The Obligations at Home Argument-
1) Environmental problems here on Earth (the web of problems that include human overpopulation, soil loss, increased toxins in the environment, global warming, desertification, loss of bio-diversity, etc.) deserve the unwavering focus of humanity.
2) Manned space missions that has their long-term goal the exodus of minority of humanity to extraterrestrial space amount to being a diversion of attention away from the more pressing problems here on Earth.
3) We have no business diverting attention away from these problems before they are adequately resolved. They matter that much.
4) For now, therefore, manned space missions that have as their long-term goal the exodus of a minority of humanity to extraterrestrial space should not be funded.
(Majority of these arguments from Steven Wienberg, physicist at the University of Texas at Austin, Nobel Laureate, and recipient of the National Medal of Science)
Now, the arguments on the side of maintaining MANNED space missions
Science and Society Advancement-
1) "The longer we stay on the planet Mars - the more scientific experiments we can do."
2) "We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are willing to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others too."
3) Many household products are a direct result of developing materials for human space exploration- such as food preservation, medical, materials (golf clubs), communications, fire protection, watches, etc.
4) Thus the push to go to space advances science and society in beneficial ways.
Cost/Benefit -
1) "Economic, scientific and technological returns of space exploration have far exceeded the investment. Globally, 43 countries now have their own observing or communication satellites in Earth's orbit. Observing Earth has provided G.P.S., meteorological forecasts, predictions and management of hurricanes and other natural disasters, and global monitoring of the environment, as well as surveillance and intelligence. Satellite communications have changed life and business practices with computer operations, cell phones, global banking, and TV."
2) "For every dollar we spend on the space program, the U.S. economy receives about $8 of economic benefit."
3) Right now, all of America's human space flight programs cost around $7 billion a year. That's pennies per person per day. In 2006, according to the USDA, Americans spend more than $154 billion on alcohol. We spend around $10 billion a month in Iraq. And so on."
4) "Royalties on NASA patents and licenses currently go directly to the U.S. Treasury, not back to NASA."
5) The current ISS (International Space Station) effort is now moving towards privatizing space exploration, expanding the economic base to support exploration of space.
6) Thus, NASA is an income source and entrepreneurial enterprise for the U.S. and not a drain.
Survival of the Species -
1) "Mankind will not remain on Earth forever, but in it's quest for light and space will at first timidly penetrate beyond the confines of the atmosphere, and later will conquer for itself all the space near the Sun."
2) "Exploration of space will provide humanity with an answer to the most fundamental questions: Are we alone? Are there other forms of life besides those on Earth?" Knowing about life, helps us understand life and ourselves.
3) "Space exploration will eventually all us to establish a human civilization to another world (e.g. Mars) as a hedge against the type of catastrophe that wiped out the dinosaurs."
4) Thus, moving into space protects our species.

It was interesting to hear this debate. Basically, the side of opposition was saying the use of probes and robotics will produce, at least the same, if not more, especially scientific, results. More or less that a machine can do what a human can.
On the other hand, the side for maintaining manned space exploration explained how it has advanced not only science, and the teaching of, but all education in some shape or form. NASA has been really pushing for the advancement of education in all forms of all subjects.
I have been involved with a research group since last semester that is funded through a NASA grant. I have been amazed at the science that is involved with all different aspects of this whole group. It has really helped my technical skills develop and look at school more professionally. Our department Chair, Dr. John Heinrichs, has deep convictions about teaching and helping us develop into professionals in the science field in any of the different areas. He has many mentor qualities about him that I respect greatly. Most of the research he has done, or currently looking into with us, and makes sure that everything we are doing is, and will be accepted with validity in the science community. I personally, had the opportunity to travel last Spring Break to Boulder to sit in on the yearly planning conference with him and his fellow colleagues. The depth and subject matter really drew me in.
I hope that the fall weather finds you all well and best wishes to everyone!! Get out and explore your world!! It is amazing in so many different ways.
Peace be with you!!

It's about time!!
Finally I have found a group of people that share the same interests and intensity (actually more intense) that I have. Recently I have gotten more into mountain biking. The Hubb Cycle Shop in Hays has become a common place I visit these days. The crew down at the Hubb have been extremely helpful in getting me up and going and keeping me going while I learn the in's and out's of mountain biking. I rode in my first race last month and was hooked. It was a 5 hour race and realized shortly after the race began, that I'm not in race shape. I was riding quite a bit this summer and with school starting haven't had the free time I had this summer. I still ride everyday, but more of a commuter ride than training. Never the less, it's still peddling!!
This weekend I went out to Wilson Lake after I got off work Saturday night. It was pretty late, ok, early Sunday morning, when I finally made it out to the lake. I needed to wake up to a lake sunrise. The sun wasn't even up when Riley decided she needed to be up and about as well. I feel so bad, Riley has really been a trooper lately. I haven't had much free time to run and play with her but she has hung in there like always. She was so happy to be able to run and play.
Today was suppose to be pretty windy so we decided to go ride the trails while it was still cool and before the wind started blowing. The trails at Wilson are pretty technical. It was a great workout first thing in the morning. I have ridden the Big Creek trail a couple of times and enjoy it but Wilson will definitely make you learn how to ride and power through the technical portions.
We rode for about 2 hours, finished the 15 mile trail and headed back to camp for a snack. The wind had already started blowing but that was going to stop us from heading out on the kayaks and getting a good paddle in. Unfortunately I had to work tonight so we only got to paddle for about two hours, if even that. Paddling into the wind to begin with sure made for a peacful stroll back to the cove we camped at. It was good to get back out in the kayak and getting on the open water. The wave were white capping pretty good today and it made for a gnarly ride. Needless to say I had to dump a bit of water out of the hull when we got done. I had my spray skirt on but still seemed to manage to get some wet. It was a great time.
There is a ride coming up in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to it. It starts on a farm north of Russell, continues on country roads to Paradise and then backtracks back to the farm. It'll be a nice 40 mile road ride to get me legged up for the Coronado Challenge in November. Once you ride in a race you get hooked!! The people that attend these events are a blast to be around and are always willing to lend a hand to those in need. It was amazing how well the accept new blood into the sport and encourage each other. I noticed how tight knit they are and have a true passion and love for cycling.
Hope all is well with everyone and apologies for the tardiness for a new post. I got a few shots this morning of the sunrise at the lake and hope to have them posted later this week.

Sunday morning I went for a little hike. There are two pictures that show the below and above photos. The top picture is from the Fire Academy, with Mailbox Hill in the background. The picture below it is from the top of Mailbox Hill looking down at the Academy. That was an amazing hike. From the trialhead it is 7.8 miles down and up. That doesn't sound like much but the incline was probably a steady 45%-50% until you got out of the trees. That is when the trail really starts to get steep. I couldn't believe how steep the trail got.
It was well worth the trip. It was amazing to be able to look over the valley and see Mt. Rainier in the far off distance. Mt. Rainier was one of the things I wanted to hike when I got here. Needless to say I didn't do enough research to be able to achieve that one this time. Snow capped the summit and quite a ways below it. One of the locals here told me you could a guide to take you up but not sure how long or how much that would take. I'm sure it's not cheap though. It had been quite some time since I have gotten that dirty and sweaty. It felt awesome!! A trip like that gets all of the bad juju out of the system and sure makes you feel more pure and clear your head. It was beautiful!!
Well today was the last time I will wake up to the Sun shining on the mountains in Washington. I have had a great time up here being able to get out and experience the outdoors, all things considered. The mountains are always such a memorable experience. The mountains are like an old Harley. An old Harley will always get you were you want to go, but it may not get you back. The mountains hold a very near and dear place in my heart.
We all have those experiences in our lives that we will never forget. Maybe not every single detail, but how we perceived it. I remember the very first time I had the opportunity to experience the mountains. I was 14 and my uncle Gene took me on a camping trip to The Powder Horns in Colorado. I fell in Love from the very beginning. We camped in the back country for three or four days and then got a cabin in Gunnison. There are so many things that I loved from that trip and I think that maybe where I was at that point in my life is why that experience stuck with me so strongly.
Like I have said in the past, this year has been so wonderful for me. There has been so much personal growth, thanks to family, friends and people that have helped along the way. There are so many factors occurring in my life concurrently that make this such wonderful period in time.
I have been blessed with such great wonders to cross my path and am grateful for each and every one of them. The dynamic that fills my soul everyday is something I can not fully describe. Just waking up and being able to step outside and hear the birds sing and watch the Sun hitting the mountain side is so peaceful. Surrounded by pretty much nothing but nature is so serene.
I am looking forward to getting home, although it won't be for another two weeks. Whether I am in the mountains or the comfort of my own home, I have been blessed with many things. In another couple of weeks life will get to be quite hectic for me. There may come a time when I will have to go back and reread my posts from this summer and let the thoughts and memories fill my mind to be able to maintain my equilibrium. Whatever the future holds for me, I am ready and willing to accept. I am excited to see what the upcoming months bring. I have a feeling things will work out very nicely. I am at a point in my life that I am ready to face my future head on and enjoy every moment of it. I have really learned to embrace my 30's. It has been a topsy-turvy ride so far, but so worth it. I can only imagine what my 40's will have in store, but for right now, I'm really dig'n life and want to experience so much.
I hope everyone is having a great summer and enjoying everything you can. If any of you are traveling, enjoy the trip, the destination is not as important as the journey.
Life is Grand!!
(Notice in the first photo that the only two uses for the trail was hiking and Llamas. Wish I would have remembered to pack my llama for this trip.)
