Finally, here’s part 3 of the Camping Adventure Trip Saga. It’s the part you’ve all been waiting for… the story of the lost keys.
I mentioned in part 2 of the saga that we awoke on morning number 2 to the sound of my car alarm. No one wanted to go through that again, so in [...]
Today I got to thinking about how awesome life here in Branson is. The awesome part comes as I stay open to Jesus and go through doors of adventure he presents. Here the 13 adventures I’ve had over the last 15 days.
1. Hiked to a Mountain Lion’s Kitchen Table a Second Time. [...]
I spent this afternoon fighting a wild grass fire in a pasture several mile northwest of Branson. This wasn’t the huge 40,000 acre blaze that’s been in the news lately (which is about 30 miles from here), but it was plenty big enough to roast all the marshmallows you could possible want. Here [...]

On the morning of Day 3, I woke up to one of the most wonderful sounds of nature - my car alarm. Apparently the camp earlybird (Bethany) tried to get out the cooler of food we had locked in the car the night before. That set of [...]

Four days from now, I will be going on a rafting and rock climbing adventure with 4 teenagers and two other sponsors. Call me crazy.
There are lots of details to check off the list between now and then. Borrowing camping and cooking gear, printing out tons of permission slips, and of course… making sure [...]
This is the last week of school.

The kindergarten teacher has no belly button.
Really, he doesn’t. He had surgery this week which resulted in his belly button being removed and Jodi subbing for his K-1 class all week. That means 4 straight Daddy Brock and Brody Days. I used to be afraid of those days. Now I love [...]
I really love the adventure of living here.
Today I found the most breathtaking place in our area. It took about an hour to hike up the side of a mesa, but I found it. A wide meadow. A quiet pond. Tall pines. Huge cedars. Gigantic boulders. Towering cliffs. [...]
