"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9) I've never run a marathon but my self-proclaimed ‘couch potato' friend is about to run her first race at the age of sixty. "It's for a good...
As I listened to the torrential rain falling on the roof of our trailer, I couldn't help but think: "No, I wouldn't have pre-ordered such weather for this camping trip..." And it rained through the night and as we started out on our first hike of the morning. In fact,...
