So, 2005 is almost over, and it’s time for a review. The highlight of my year was the time I spent with Mike Steele, which was relaxing, encouraging and fun. The time changed me; I sense it, and friends have commented on it too. Although the photo above is beautiful – as are many of the photos I took in the USA, the photo of the year must be this one:
I took one photo (almost) every morning I was in the US, and most of them looked like that! It was the view from my window at the Steeles’ house.
Other highlights: finally making it to Yosemite, discovering Monitor Pass and Bryce Canyon National Park, and the road from Aspen to Colorado Springs via Buena Vista; I took the photo at the top of this entry just after leaving Aspen.
After such a long break, returning to work was tough. I’m part of a great team, though, which helps. The biggest shock of the year came just after we returned to Switzerland, when our house church ceased. It turned out to be God’s timing, though! (More details on that next year.)
