August 28, 2015- Met with Christian Author Phillip Yancey

Pastor Bill Robertson of Clear Creek Neighborhood Church arranged a meeting at Starbucks in Idaho Springs between me and Christian author, Phillip Yancey.

We discussed a wide range of issues including the state of the Church in America, political situation, his books and my prospective book.

He is a fascinating man. I read at least 2 of his books including Reaching For The Invisible God and The Jesus I Never Knew. They were excellent reads for sure.

Hosted Cathie McCormack last night and today. She may stay until Sunday. She is riding her bike across America East to West. I'm Facebook friends with Cathie but until last night I had never met her in person.

Cody cooked up a big breakfast for us this morning before he left for his carpenter job.

Last night I attended a memorial service for little Dylan Ellington who passed away a few days ago. He was born prematurely I believe and developed an infection while in the neonatal unit at the hospital.

Christine and Michael are members of Clear Creek Neighborhood Church which I attend Thursday night. Dylan was their first child. I cannot even pretend to know what range of emotions a parent feels upon the death of a child.

Michael and I are planning to spend a weekend up at the cabin during the winter. Cant wait! Mountain men!!

Pics show Phillip Yancey and me, Cathie McCormick and Scott at the Frothy Cup. Last pic shows a magazine Mr Yancey gave me at Starbucks.

Well anyway, its time to go. Ciao!
