the night's festivities...

We were invited to a couples' house for the evening tonight. They had a roaring bonfire ready for us when we arrived.


Their house is exactly what a "foreigner" would think of when they hear "house in Alaska." Quaint. Secluded. Rustic. Homey. I loved it! They even had hot apple cider warmed over the fire in a pot.


Their firepit was made of metal and had these really cool cutouts in it in the shape of animals you find here in Alaska. It made for some really cool pictures:
A moose.

A wolf howling at the moon.

A bear.

A cowboy riding a whale.

And a lone wolf.

There were other ones but these made for the best pictures.


Highlights were singing Shine Jesus, Shine and Refiner's Fire. We toasted marshmallows and made s'mores. We laughed. We sang. We prayed. It was good times being warmed by the Spirit.
