Just an hour out of Anchorage, in the Matanuska Valley, near Palmer, in the shadow of Pioneer Peak, we took a look at Alaska's farming region. The big leafy vegetables were sweet, the reindeer (caribou) and musk ox farms unique. |

John's special day - "Happy birthday to you!" |

Our worship experience in a Dawson City bar - John Souder, our twig carver, says "Life is a Process". All of us are bent shapes and unusual forms. As the Master Carver cuts and chips away, much hidden beauty and character is brought out of each of us. May this small creation remind you of the potential in your life. Thank you, John. |
