My best friend from school, Rhonda, came to Colorado for a Compassion Advocate retreat this weekend. During her off-hours we toured the headquarters for Compassion International, a child advocacy program for children in countries without enough food and clothing to reach their full potential. This ministry not only provides for the physical well-being of the child but calls the child to Jesus Christ. The statues at the headquarters building were donated to the organization and represent children from all continents coming to Jesus who cares for them. Rhonda has traveled to Nicarauga and Dominican Republic to visit children she has personally sponsored. After the tour at Compassion we went to the Air Force Academy and walked through the Visitor's Center and then hiked the tree-lined trail to the jet-inspired Cadet Chapel. Following that we drove on to the USOC Headquarters in Colorado Springs. While there we had a guide explain the purpose of the Olympic Committee and the National Governing Bodies, the sports that train in Colorado Springs as well as the facilities available here.

We rarely see each other so spending the time together and enjoying the blue skies and purple mountain majesties was a real treat!
