Righteous!

This is the first of what I'm sure will be several posts recounting the TEAM FPC "Faith-Building Adventure Trip" to Camp RedCloud in Lake City, CO.

Let me start with this:


This is a picture from the spot my group ate lunch on the day of our "peak hike." We were attempting to summit Mount RedCloud (and came close, but were interrupted by a rain / hail storm).
I was completely bummed (as you may know, I have a thing with perfection / completion), but I was stoked that we would have finished. I was worried as the hike began, that I (or other members of the group) wouldn't be able to physically make it up the mountain (either because of high-altitude and low oxygen or being out of shape), but although we were tired and out of breath, this was not what kept us from our goal, it was the rain (which I believe was out of our control).
The week was great, the kids were great, the adult leaders were great...great, great, great! And alongside all that greatness was the fact that everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) was viewed from a spiritual perspective and this meant the world to me.
I'll post more soon!
Until next time - RevPhil

That's awesome. I remember my youth trip to New Mexico when I was in high school. What an exciting time. Hope to hear more about the trip.
