Live In The Now


I was lucky enough to enjoy the true wonders of nature and God's work the past four days as I joined three other high school friends (aka The Handlen Group) to the New River Gorge in West Virginia. We enjoyed whitewater rafting and kayaking (duckies), a 3-mile run on the Endless Wall trail (1000' above the river), the beautiful scenery, fabulous food, and each other's company.

Thanks to Ben for organizing and seeing this trip through, it was truly amazing. Thanks to my wife for letting me go and dealing with all the things going on with the kids, new house, temporary house, etc. Thanks to the good Lord for providing such a wonderful place to visit.
