They call it the Gaius Guest Ranch after John's friend in 3 John 1, 5-8. It's a magnificent place of hospitality. I rate it ***** five stars. Nothing less! About 120 miles north-northwest of Spokane, Washington.
Words can only attempt to describe the experience -- quiet, restful, stunning setting, great scenery, encouraging, zoo-like.
Check it out. Supper is prepared. It is tasty and ample, with lots of meat. The facilities are comfortable. They certainly met our needs for sleeping, food preparation, reading, praying, and visiting. The caretakers, Gerry (Ike) and Dede Eickerman, are servants. They give you space and yet are there when you need them.
And best of all: There's no one else there but you and your spouse.
If you get antsy you can drive north 20 minutes to Northport or south 45 minutes to Kettle Falls. The Columbia River (backwaters of Lake Roosevelt) are five minutes down the mountain with plenty of places to relax or fish. And no matter which direction you arrive from you've already been blessed by the beauty of God's creation.
Gaius Guest Ranch! Five stars! I recommend it highly. I'll certainly be back, maybe in the winter this time. Check it out
Just thought I would read your blog and let you know there are people who are praying and thinking in the same way you are. I know sometimes it seems we are alone in our own thoughts and no one knows, but God knows and sometimes he will let us know if we listen. I am trying to listen, but sometimes its hard when you have thoughts that keep you from listen. Just my thoughts
Thanks
