Mammoth Lakes Trip - Day 3



Our third day, we started off wanting to try a little breakfast joint.  Well, the sandwich bagel I wanted to try they weren't serving because of the long line they have on weekends.  So we got smoothies - without checking the price - Almost $10 a smoothie.  Good. Grief.  We went then to Old New York Bagel - the bagel just didn't live up to my expectation so oh well!


Then off to hike to Rainbow Falls.


The hike there was easy and had some pretty spots.  But no shade so very warm!  And a lot of people on the trail.  No Bueno!




I'm sure you can see where it got its name!

 

 The photo spot was very crowded with people taking pictures!



Then after the falls, we hiked to Devil's Postpile which is a unique formation.

 








Then it was wedding time!
And happy 17th anniversary to us - June 23rd is our wedding anniversary. :)




Riding up the gondola!


Top of the mountain...11,053 feet.


There was a lot of smoke from wildfires which was a bummer.  Still pretty!



That's snow there.




Can't beat that backdrop!



Our trip is over. :( So much fun we had!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers

Ideas for Sunday School Teachers: 1.  Write a note to each student and mail it to their home. 2.  Visit the child in his home and bring a small treat. 3.  Make a special treat once a month for your students on Sunday. 4.  Have a Sunday School class activity on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 5.  Pray for your students. 6.  Have a monthly or quarterly contest for your students.  Include bringing their Bible, saying memory verses, attendance, etc.  Award small prizes. 7.  Have a special craft once a month. 8.  Rev up your teaching time!  Use props such as costumes, pictures, videos.  Make your lesson time come alive.  Teach your lesson 2-3 times during the week out loud – you will be amazed at how you will be able to teach it to your students – not just following the words in the book. 9.  After the lesson, be creative!  Students should not just be sitting and waiting for Sunday School hour ...
