Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the fall of Ted Haggard from New Life Church. I had kind of forgotten the timing of the whole thing, but it was front page on the paper when we got up. The service was really very upbeat, and the place was packed, which is a testament to the fact that God can bring good things out of bad. Brady Boyd, the new senior pastor, did a great job, and I think there is generally a very hopeful, expectant mood throughout the congregation.

The weather was fantastic. Mid 70's and sunny is always nice in November, although I would like to see some snow fall in the mountains so we can get some skiing going. There are resorts open, but I am not big on wrecking my skis on the rocks in the early season. I like to see closer to a 30 inch base before I make the drive (life is too short to ski on bad snow!).

With the time change, we slept in a little and went to late service, so I got to miss the debacle in Detroit that the Broncos had. Ironically, every team in the AFC West lost, so we are still only 1 game back in our division, but playing like they did yesterday, I don't see playoffs this year unless something major changes!

Today's Pike's Peak photo is from last winter, and is taken from near Penrose Main Hospital to show the views around one of my listings that is downtown in the Old North End.
