Still in School

I'm adapting fine to college life. Its been colder and damper than I've expected, but God continues to meet my needs through kind hearted people. The Cottonwood mission prepares a daily lunch which has proven very useful and much appreciated. Despite rid s a day I continue to get out of shape. Therese not a lot of work around here, I hope that with the increased tourism in the summer, some thing will open up. Thanks for stopping by, and God bless, Daniel

Back From Prescott

Hi All,
I had to take an emergency trip to Prescott to retrieve my mail. There seemed to be some miscommunication between myself and a friend. I'm happy I was able to secure my mail and make it back to Cottonwood. I took a dirt road 20 miles up 3500 foot in elevation. I really had a hard time on the journey. I did make it the 50 or so miles, and the shelter had a bed for me. On the return trip I went over the scenic 89a Mingus mountain road. Again very challenging. There was a lot of snow up at 7000 foot. My friend Kris that offered to help me with books, wow, what an encouragement. I've been having troubles getting my text books, but I think I have it worked out. By the way, I'm attending Yavapai College, whose main campus is in Prescott. May God bless all of you, yours in Christ, Daniel

School after 27 years?

Hi everybody. Its amazing how the same scenery looks different every day. As I take the daily 5 mile bicycle ride to the library the sun light hits things different, or a little more snow melts, God is quite an artist. Some times I get into a habit of just blogging good things, or just negative things, I felt I needed to share the experience of my daily ride. School has brought new challenges that I haven't had to face in some time. I'm out of practice in some aspects of basic life skills. Not having a car, credit cards, or even a local mailing address has caused minor stresses. God is good, all things are working out. My knee has been acting up a little. I may have to take a 55 mile bicycle ride to receive my mail soon. I'm grateful to have an address to have my mail sent, but I need to retrieve it monthly. Its a long hard ride going up a lot of elevation. Then I may not have a place to spend the night. The temperatures in Prescott often get in the low 20's, which posses problems. It will all work out. School's going good, the community has been great, and I look foreword to waking up every morning, life is good. Have a wonderful day, yours in Christ, Dan
