Rainy and cold 33 degrees. Rainy all the way through the end of the month!
Sat at the coffee shop updating my journal and writing other articles. Talked to Tony and Donna.
Not really feelin it today. Tired and down. Probably the weather. Oh well.

Supper at the Horners
Had a nice supper at Mike and June Horner's home last night. Great conversation and equally great food!
Mike showed off his only vice, model railroading. Very impressive. Mike was a high school Shop Teacher and has a very developed skill set!
June sews quilts. It was a very relaxed evening. Walked home.

Found silver ore
Silver ore I picked up at the abandoned silver mine, the 730 mine above Silver Plume, CO.
May 12, 2015- Tuesday
Held office hours at The Frothy Cup coffee shop this morning with Pastor Bill Robertson of Clear Creek Neighborhood. Church.
We talked about logistical support for the Mission to the back country of Clear Creek County starting this June. He is willing to drive his 4 Runner at various times to pick Bonnie and me up so we can attend Core Group meetings and to provide us with safe drinking water as well. Bill will also bring up the issue of backing us up financially too with his church staff.
Other issues concerned how to appeal to people in the County to attend our services. We are looking to possibly starting house churches up in the mountains with a loose affiliation with Clear Creek Neighborhood Church (CCNC).
Discussed how counter cultural radical Christianity is. How doing first century church and community runs counter to American individualism. It will be especially difficult to penetrate this thinking and way of life in these isolated mountain areas of the Arapaho National Forest.
But, we feel that the pot needs stirring from time to time.

May 11, 2015- Bonnie's in Kansas
Bonnie Coffey is battling stiff westerly winds on I-70 in Kansas. She should be here tonight or tomorrow.
I spent last night with the Watson's at their home in Lone Tree. I slept ad usual in the spare bedroom in the nicely finished basement. Used their steam room/shower twice.
Glenda drove me back to Idaho Springs late this morning.
Glenda and Randy own The Frothy Cup here in town.
Mike from Clear Creek Neighborhood Church called me today to invite Bonnie and I to dinner next Sunday evening.
Tomorrow I have office hours with Pastor Bill Robertson at The Frothy Cup and then Celebrate Recovery at 630pm but not sure if I can make it considering Bonnie's arrival.
Wednesday is Breakfast Club at the Sunshine Cafe and then night services at First Baptist.
Thursday night is Clear Creek Neighborhood Church Core Group.
A check from sister Marty Zimmerman came in today so Mercy Church will be cashing it for me soon. I have completely run out of money.
Bill Lee the mule rancher emailed me back asking me to call him which I did today. He could not answer so I left him a message. We are looking into leasing a pack burro for our journey into the Clear Creek wilderness.
Called my mother yesterday to wish her a happy mother's day but she did not answer the phone. Oh well.
I'm ready for another week here in Idaho Springs. Bonnie will be a huge help in kicking the 2nd phase of the Colorado Mission.
Pics show the mountains around Silver Plume. Behind those mountains is where Bonnie and I will be headed in June. Other pics show the town of Silver Plume. Remaining pics are of Father John Lewis Dyer Colorado mountain circuit preacher and Peter Cartwright another famous 19th century circuit rider from Illinois. Both Dyer and Cartwright were circuit riders in IL.
