Gas up before you go

Gas station chalk board
Gas up, laugh it up. Capitalize on the gift of a giving spirit. Give yourself the first round of spiritual giving.

Laughing is my favorite thing to do with others.

Glacier National Park opened May 11, 1910.

dad

We’ve never been in Glacier on its Inaugural opening day anniversary, May 11, until today.

It’s fun to think about what, who, where, when, and how the day went in 1910.

Going-to-the-Sun Road didn’t open for another 22 years.

Worship intentionality

National Park LEGO sets
We’ve never seen the Red Bus Lego sets because they’re always sold out by our July arrival .
Two men holding a bottle of rum
Randomly met Chef Russell today. He has a 42-foot sailboat docked near Sarasota. This Rum was created in his honor.

i’ve spent my life becoming over-focused on intentionally.

dad

As the day unfolded, an opportunity become randomly apparent. Would it be possible to intentionally become the first Lake McDonald Lodge Guest of the 2024 season to buy a round at Lucke’s Lounge?

Stay tuned.

St Mary Lake is rarely ‘glass’.

’Glass’ makes stunning reflections.

What are my spiritual priorities? What is their prioritized order?

The best relationships have breadth and depth.

Seeing all of Glacier’s deciduous trees in buds is a first.

It’s a deeper insight into a season that always happens but we’ve never seen it until this visit.
