16June2011 Refreshed

It isn't hot here...yet.  We've enjoyed cooler temperatures and a nice breeze for the past week but we know the heat is coming!  Desert climate basically sucks the moisture out your body, one drop at a time, so it's imperative that we drink lots of fluids, particularly if we're gonna spend any amount of time outdoors. When we come in from outside, parched dryer than scorched earth (like pictured above)...I don't care what the beer commercials say, nothing refreshes us like water.
Lately we've been refreshed in an entirely different way.  Over the last month there have been teams and individuals here from California, North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Arkansas, South Carolina and Texas. Seeing our community through these wonderful volunteers' eyes, hearing fresh perspectives, experiencing their unbridled enthusiasm, having wonderful conversations and sharing our families has been in a word...refreshing.
