On Tuesday we went to Las Crucitas, a small village in the mountains above the town of Santa Barbara. We are planing on having a church camp there in April, so we went to see the area and make arrangements.
A shiny crystal rock formation inside of a cave we explored. They told us that in this cave people have found Mayan Indian artifacts.
This was as far into the cave as we could go without ropes.
Grinding coffee by hand is harder then it sounds! They grow a lot of coffee in the Santa Barbara area, and most people roast and grind their own coffee at home.
Rosy giving the grinder a try.
Her flowers fell out of her hands and she couldn't even pick them up herself. How do people expect her to hear and answer their prayers if she can't even do that?
"They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed... He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?"
(Isaiah 44:9, 16-19)
