While studying the Biblical foundation for the Chinese underground house church movement of Back to Jerusalem - I discovered this nugget of truth:
Man has always approached God from East to West.
We see this directional significance already with Adam and Eve, the Tower of Babel, the direction of the Temple, even in nature with the rising and setting of the sun!
I believe that this directional movement is also significant for the completion of the Great Commission and the return of Jesus Christ.

@tanjaostman also Bruksvallarna today.

@tanjaostman this is Bruksvallarna today.

It's a perfect day for a hike today!

@tanjaostman in that case, it's good for you to know that one ski pass will get you onto the lifts of several different ski mountains. Just in our area alone we have about 10 different locations for downhill skiing within driving distance that use the same pass. As for cross country, a single button is good for everywhere and it's on the honor system - no one checks for it. our cabin is on the trail, so it is ski in and ski out. if you ever do come, shoot me a note and we can send some recommendations.

@tanjaostman BTW, of course I am a HUGE HUGE fan of Funäsdalen, Bruksvallarna, and Ramundberget - it really is much slower here and is not for everyone. I LOVE it, but if you would like the cute factor and really best Swedish experience - Åre is the place to go. We love going to Åre as a treat. They have great shops, amazing restaurants, and the best wine selection in northern Sweden. Åre does get super crowded though during the busy times of the year and is why we prefer to be here in Burksvallarna. Bruksvallarna has Sweden's best cross country skiing, but is super slow and not many people - which is how we like it. It does however, mean that there is less here in terms of shops, stores, restaurants, etc.

@tanjaostman yes, we spent new years skiing one year in Finland's arctic circle at Levi, and even though we were given our cabin for free by family friends, we were broke from the price of lift passes, rental equipment, and the price of food. we didn't rent a car at that time, but it was still super expensive for us. though we had a wonderful time, we would not be able to afford it again.

@tanjaostman Funäsdalen is 20 minutes from our cabin. there are thousands of miles of cross country trails here which is what we enjoy and we can ski until mid-june. i would argue that you actually save money in sweden (depending on how long you stay). we have always found finland super expensive. we often take the ferry over when we travel to finland and take our car because car rental is so much cheaper in sweden, as is the price of fuel, food, lodging, and skiing. sweden is cheaper than even the US when it comes to lift passes. even now when we go skiing in america, we find the prices almost twice as much as in sweden.

it snowed today.
It was a GOOD day!

Even as a young boy, he had his eyes set on the military life.
Just two more weeks and I will be with him to watch him swear in to be contracted as an officer in the US Marine Corps.
