Our Lady of the Mountains

We just made it to Mass on time, unusual for us, who are always early. The church is wood, not very noticeable from the highway. Unlike Assumption Church in Lake Tahoe, the architecture doesn't take advantage of the beautiful environment -- I had hoped for wonderful distracting views of the mountains.

The priest's homily reflected ultra conservative positions that don't resonate with my own liberal lifeview, but he was so pleasant and likable that I wasn't tempted to walk out. The parish was holding a number of fundraisers, including the sale of Colorado peaches, but they were sold out, to Bob's dismay.

I love going to church in the communities we visit. We always feel at home and welcomed. This was another memorable experience.
