I Believe in Wyoming
So this discussion came up on the way home from our Jr. High Fall Retreat. It all started when I told the kids on my bus that I didn't believe in Wyoming. I mean think about it. Have you ever seen a liscense plate from Wyoming? I haven't! What comes from Wyoming? Idaho is famous for potatoes. Wisconsin for cheese. Wyoming...nada, nothing comes to mind. So why should I believe in Wyoming? I've never met anyone from there. I don't know what comes from there. I've never seen a picture from there. Don't know of any reason why I should believe in Wyoming. Is it a government conspiracy? Maybe we only had 49 states but someone thought the nice round number of 50 would be better so they rounded up & made up the state of Wyoming. I don't know. The whole thing seems bizarre to me. Why should I believe in Wyoming? No one has offered me any hard evidence it is true or that it really exists.
Actually, (you know what I'm about to say) I do believe in Wyoming. No, I've never been there, never seen a liscense plate from there, don't know what comes from there. But I believe in Wyoming. The fact of the matter is I don't have to see it to believe in it. I don't have to meet someone from there to know that it is an actual place that actually exists. I believe in Wyoming for the same reason I believe in a lot of things.
And I believe in things that matter a lot more than Wyoming. I believe in God. I believe in brotherly love. I believe in serving. I believe in hope. I believe in people. I believe in things I can't explain, can't see, can't resolve, can't define, can't locate, & can't understand.
I believe in Wyoming, do you?

I'm a believer. I believe in the unseen things. One of my all-time favorite songs is Walk On by U2. There's a line from that song that has always stuck in my head: You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been; A place that has to be believed to be seen. I'm all about that...believing without seeing. Better said, seeing without seeing.
I'm still not sure if I believe in Wyoming, though...
Has anyone ever heard of Jackson Hole, the Grand Tetons, or Yellowstone National Park...just three of the benchmarks of the great state known as Wyoming!
Wyoming is the Equality State. And Rosa Parks just died this week. Coincidence? I think not!

Corey thanks for all the wonderful work you are doing with our kids. They are already better people because of the things you have taught them and the example you set. God bless you and all of your efforts.
