Currently in Lenoir City, TN. Come down every 4th winter for a furlough or three months to preach at churches that support the missions work in Alaska. Earlier this winter there were some good northern lights. Psalm 34:6

We listened to whales spouting, one had a funny whistle, there were a dozen or more very close. We heard a low rumble and the truck started shaking/vibrating. You could hear the gem top door flopping, we thought it was a bear. We both jumped out, guns in hand and the sky was a deep crimson red. One of only 3 or so red displays I have seen. The rumbling was a whale with a very low pitch groan, you could feel it in your gut, a weird sound sensation. I have since thought they were reacting to the Aurora as they were very active and vocal that night.

Amazing! I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
