Buenas noches, mis amigos. Hope you are all doing marvelously. I am sitting here in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania - a lovely cool evening here on Thanksgiving day. It was my first American Thanksgiving - in America at least. My mum cooked a wonderful turkey dinner for dad and I. Wow. We are so very blessed. Not only do we get another day to exist (thank God for that!!), but we can see and smell and think and feel and eat and talk and walk and smile and laugh. I think perhaps we take these things for granted (I do far more often than I would like). What an exciting thing to be alive. And even more exciting to know God and walk with Him!
I took a walk to a bluff that overlooks the Susquehanna River and then to Harrisburg, the Capitol of PA. A beautiful sight! The lights of the city were glistening off the relatively still waters (the river is almost a kilometer wide), and the air was cool, but not biting cold. The clouds were just starting to clear (it had been raining most of the day), and the first glimpses of the stars could been seen. Very cool (in the colloqial/slang sense). Our God is an awesome God!
I should make it a mission to find some decent climbing trees. Saturday is going to be incredible - there is a state park with waterfalls galore. Some up to 95 feet high, and a picturesque trail with tons of climbing that runs beside the falls. That is going to be an amazing hike!
Also reading a couple of books that I would highly recommend - one is called aWAKE, a book on the Africa AIDS crisis. The other is called Let the Nations Be Glad by John Piper. Both excellent books! Soon I hope to share a bit about them.
Hope you all have a wonderful evening and may God bless you! May you abide in Christ, so that you can bear fruit with your lives that will last.
In Him,
Ryan
