Although I have to say it still takes some getting used to seeing how tall and old Chris looks next to the other two boys. In my mind, he should still be the age and size of Brendan and Colin! :) But I am glad to see what an incredible young man he is growing up to be. Glad you got to have some good father/son time together! What great pictures!

Seth and I did it over Spring Break (as well as the Hell's Canyon Trail - a nice easy one). Hikers who peaked ahead of us reported that it was snowing on top when they got there, but it was gone when we arrived. We did, however, get slammed by cold rain and sleet on the way down -- ahh, the things adventure and memories are made of. The Guadalupe Peak Trail is a great hike.

Our PA here remembers Matt at the age Chris is now and when I showed her the pictures she couldnt believe how Chris had grown and how much he looked like Matt at the same age. She remembers all of you from her church days at Searcy. Do you remember Louisa Duke? Her Dad is Richard Duke. Anyway she is glad to see you all if only by pictures. Especially grateful to see Chris able to do all he does without any resdiual deficets. Did you sing" We shall assemble on the mountains?" Whenever we climb any mountains here in Zambia that is what always comes to mind. Blessings on you and the family. Remember we still want Matt to come over here for one of the medical missions. Great experiences. Laura Hi Mike

Check www.gcrcc.org for more information. Thank you. Blessings on you and yours. And it is so great to see your son doing so well.

I'm only 5 miles from the tallest point on Florida's East Coast which is known to locals as "High Point." It's a whopping 87 feet high. There are mountains in Texas?

I think all people from Neosho just love to climb. That is what Steve does for fun here in Georgia too. I know I make him walk slower than he would like, but we love to share the time in the mountains. Grateful for you and Chris to be able to share with friends.

God is to be praised! I know as a father it had to have been a moving experience for you as well. Thank you for sharing this experience with us all and what God still does in the lives of Christians today. God bless you brother! Mike,

I, too, am so thankful for the healing from the wreck (January 2005). One of the highlights was communion together at the peak! Thanks, Lynn, for making that connection.

We girls spent the weekend hiking too, but the scenery was much different. My calves are still aching as our cabin was located on what felt like a 70 degree angle. Your post reminded me of a weekend John & I went to Odessa with friends for a "42" tourney. We stayed in a Motel 6 somewhere along the highway out there. It was us and a colony of huge W. Texas bugs - an experience I'll never forget! How fun is that?! We girls spent the weekend hiking too, but the scenery was much different.
