The gorgeous Black Forest!

DSC02787It’s been amazingly beautiful here over the past few days, even though it’s been COLD!  We’ve had snow for the past three days… and it’s remained!

The sun came out for a few minutes today… it was absolutely beautiful, so I thought I’d share a photo or two.

You can also see the famous Black Forest fog in this picture… it’s just over the next ridge from our house.  It’s a unique phenomenon for this area (and other mountainous areas) in winter.DSC02790  Oftentimes it’s so thick that visibility is only a few feet, but above it is crystal clear.

We’re thankful that God has called us to live in such a beautiful place!

Coburg, Germany

800px-Veste_Coburg_Luftbild

We were in Coburg visiting some church planters this past weekend.  we got to spend some time with them on Sat eve and Sun afternoon asking questions and learning…

We also took some time on Sat to visit the Veste Coburg Citadel, one of the largest fortresses in Germany.  It was amazing!  It just kept going and going and going…

One of the most interesting things about the castle is that Martin Luther spent 6 months here in hiding so he wouldn’t be burned at the stake as a heretic.  While he was here he continued translating the Bible into German so the common man could read it.  Actually, after the Reformation, Coburg became Protestant resulting in all Catholics being persecuted.

More pictures to follow…
