Snowqualmie Pass

Yesterday I had so much fun up at Snowqualmie Pass. I when with Sarah and Adrian. It was my second time snowboarding, but I really got the hang of it. I even attempted a couple jumps. The first one I fell flat on my tush. Ouch! The second one I slowed down on and just slide over it. I sure wish I had some money to buy my own gear so I could go at the drop of a hat. Maybe this summer when I get back from Europe I'll go looking for gear so it'll be cheaper. Anyway, I hope I get to go again soon.

Adrian and I had a neat discussion at one point while we were riding the lift up the mountain. I said something about how you don't see any animals creating any ski resorts. I thought it was cool that God gave us the minds and desire to enjoy life no matter what the weather. Adrian mentioned that God would have known what we would do with the snow when he created it. I reminded her that when God created the earth, he had no intentions of bad weather. It was paradise! Sunny days would be a no brainier for the weather man. It was an exciting thought for me when I realized that our making the best(skiing etc.) out of what we have (cold weather and snow) is evidence that we are made in God's likeness. Scripture tells us that God uses the bad for good. It's like making lemonade when you've been given a lemon!
