What a gift it is to breathe. Taking a deep breath of mountain air while driving a convertible with the top down has to be at the top of my list of things I want to do in my life. I talked with a friend who struggles with asthma and when she has an episode …

Comfort For Zion’s Travelers
We are at the halfway mark, and it is perfect time to be encouraged on our journey. If you are behind, you will find fresh encouragement. If you are bored, you will find fresh motivation. If you are current, you will find fresh inspiration. It is a longer post than usual, but it is too good …
Beware of Road Kill
I’ve just returned from a road trip to Atlanta to help my daughter move to a new house. I was surprised to see how many animals were lying dead by the road. I saw deer, armadillos, rabbits, possums and raccoons. It seemed to me more than the usual amount of road kill. Why? Then, the …
Billboards of Truth
Billboards are purposeful. They are placed in strategic spots along the road in order to capture your attention. Many travelers choose to ignore them. But there are those who want to see everything the road trip has to offer, so they not only notice the billboards, but they take note of all the information advertised. …

Your speed flashes on the screen in bright white lights indicating you’re going too fast. By instinct you hit the brakes and slow down …

From a Good Friend…Mr. J.C. Ryle
Profiting from the Scriptures by J.C. Ryle (1) For one thing, begin reading your Bible this very day. The way to do a thing–is to do it; and the way to read the Bible–is actually to read it! It is not merely meaning, or wishing, orresolving, or intending, or thinking about it–which will advance you one step. You must positively read. There …
Can You Hear The Whistle Blowing?
It is nearing the end of October, and it is time to check in. How is your journey so far? For me it has been one crazy, hectic year. I’m sure you’ve noticed by my lack of posts and encouragements. I’m sorry – really I am. But my confidence is not in my ability to …
HELLO…HELlo…Hello…hello
Is there an echo? I believe there is. I feel as though my journey has led me into a deep canyon where I feel isolated and alone. As I write this post, I’m calling out to see if there are any voices other than my own returning echo. Please speak to show there is! It …
