June 26-30 I spent with good friends from high school in Flaming Gorge, Utah. This has become a bit of a ritual journey for our group. We spent 4-5 days jumping off of cliffs, eating amazing food (thanks largely to the women-folk my guy friends have accumulated), and discussing theology and politics around the campfire under the stars.

The trip this year was fantastic, a chance to glimpse God in nature, and in the enduring friendship of some of the best people I’ve ever had the privilege to know. I can only wish such a blessed adventure and fantastic friendships for everyone.
