Still Working Out What it Means to Be Saved By Grace

We might be mid-life but we are still
trying to discover the depths of faith, family and how we are to be
Christ-agents in this world in which we live. We are open to explore, ponder and
discover how God will use us in this phase of our lives. We desire to refine and
adjust ourselves while we reconnect to our pasts and make this transition to the
future. It isn't really about the destination but more about the journey....We
use each of you to sharpen us and hone us to be the people that God intended for
us to be. Will you share the journey with us? We love your comments!

Melbourne- A Vistors Paradise

The View From our Room at the Clarion Gateway

Our room was a small suite on the 14th floor. It was within walking distance from the free public city tram line and all sorts of public transporation. Again Hannah had it all figured out for us.
We have spent two wonderful days in Melbourne. This city is the meca of international people, art, culture, history and a great place for "foodies". One quater of the people who live here where not born in this country! Interesting, huh? Dan has been our navigator around the city... it gives him great pride to try to conquer it (which he did) and I have been the shopper. Are you surprised? Here are some images from some of the places that we hav seen.

On Saturday Dan and I made our way to the Queen Victoria outside market. A fun walk through the open air market althoug it ended up being a cold day with windand rain.... the only poor weather day of our trip so we can hardly complain.

Amazing Shopping.... Aussies love funky clothes.... now I see where Hannah, Abby and Tara find their sense of style.... they would fit in well here. It took me a while to get my bearings but I came out all right in the end. It is almost summer here so I am going to have to wait for awhile. A Foodie's Paradise with Cafe's at every turn

This is the cafe that Hannah Suggested we have brunch at.... it was wonderful!

I have more pictures to add but for some reason the camera card reader is not letting them download so I will add more after I get home. Come back and look at this entry again later....

We leave these wonderful countries with our hearts full to overflowing.... we are so glad we came. We feel like broader people for having been here to see the other side of the world and have experienced other cultures. We feel like we have a better perspective of our own lives in Wyoming... maybe we will be a little less intense in how we do things and we feel like we understand our world traveling children better too. We pray that God will allow us to travel to other places in the years to come. God, in His wonder, has made such an amazing world to be discovered and enjoyed.... we feel priviledged and blessed to have done this!

Great pictures! We really miss you guys, but we're happy you're having the time of your life. We had very good services this morning. The Thanksgiving skit was excellent, and a lot of fun. Continue enjoying God's beautiful art work "down under!"
