Well...the Great Adventure is just about over...well...this 3 weeks of it anyway! What a happenin' thing to get to do! Ken and Daniel have done so much more than spend some 'quality time' together. They have done something that, i suppose, millions of dads and sons would love to have done at some time in their lives together, but for millions of reasons, never did. Even more sad is the fact that there are as many that would never WANT to do that with their dad or son. With his job at CCU, Ken has always, as so many of us do, battled between his committment to his job, and spending more time with the family. And, as with many of us, the family didn't always come out on top. But that has changed in recent times. And this sabbatical until the first of the year is a reflection of that. And "The Trip' is something that neither of them will ever forget.
i have followed closely each day, the antics of Ken, Daniel, and Moo! And what a great adventure it has been! i almost feel as if i had been there with them! The ball games, the strange looks and comments, doing things on the spur of the moment just because....well...because why not! The hot dog judging, and...being on the field when ya weren't supposed to be....DANIEL! That musta been rich, man! And the end-of-the-day insights were also great. Commenting on 'life elsewhere' as they saw it. A trip of worship....INDEED!
i wanted to keep up with them by e-mail as they went, but felt that it would've been...well...an invasion of privacy, i guess! They certainly had enough to do keeping the AWESOME web page full! And just bein' with each other. After all...relationships are the only things that really matter....everything else is gonna burn anyway! Relationships....what a great gift from God!! mark s.

Mark, thanks so much for your faithfulness as a friend, and as a fellow-pilgrim in this adventure of life. I wish you could have had this sort of relationship with your dad. How different your life would be today. Your life is a treasure, but you have had to find out how to be a man, alone, and that's not the way it's supposed to be. Peace to you.
