After six days on the road we’ve seen everything from LA to Monterey. Last night the sun was setting over Hwy 1 as we pushed hard to reach San Francisco before dark. We crested a mountain, and unexpectedly a perfect beach appeared several hundred feet below. It was too cold for a walk, but something [...]

I agree with what’s been said about the [...]

Something special happened last night. We’re (11 adults and 4 grand kids) on vacation here in Hilton Head Island, SC. For devotions we were asked to share a significant dream.
The verse we worked from was Phil 3:13 & 14: “But one thing I do: Forgetting those things that are behind and straining toward what is [...]
