Springtime on the front range is bipolar.  Today it is 70 degrees and sunny, but Sunday it is supposed to snow.  One day is warm, the next is frigid and windy.  The grass is starting to become green and the people are emerging from their hibernation to run, play in the park and care for their lawns.  But then winter reminds us that it still has a grip on the area with seasonal snow storms and the impressive sights of the ski resorts with massive amounts of snow still on the ground.

Planting the Gospel is bipolar as well.  There are days when there are frantically good things that happen…like the day of our monthly house parties or the days following when we take time to follow up with our neighbors, or when a new partnership is developed or a mission team is on the ground.  There are days of discouragement and frustration, too…. like the times when I would fill out multiple applications for a job, only to never hear back about the positions (praise God for opening a position at Albertsons in the coffee bar), or days when people are not receptive to you when you talk with them.  All in all, the journey has more ups than downs and we look forward to seeing what God is going to do in us and through us here in Lowry.
