On the Move

After a quiet week I’ve been roaming around. Saturday I drove 120 miles south to Fort Collins, CO. We had a minister meeting there. It was fun to see others and share stories. I drove down early in the day. Did I wander through the beautiful open spaces in Fort Collins? Did I check out…
