One fun thing about being in Estes Park is the wildlife encounters. (Usually fun. Benji, the dog, and I were confronted by an angry deer after he barked at her fawns. No photo documentation, sadly, June was too busy watching us from our cabin’s porch scared out of her wits. Anyway, Benji and I survived unscathed.)

A few days later I went to the country store where a herd of elk made their appearance. And make no mistake, they are big…

“Guys, let’s cross the street and pose for a few pictures. The parking lot is crawling with tourists.”

[Jesus] was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him. (Mark 1.13, NLT)
