Romans 5:1-6

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.  And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."

Sequoia National Park

The big vacation this summer was our annual trip to Sequoia National Park. What a great place to get away from the chores of life and enjoy the nature God created. No wonder Tharp carved out his tree and took residence there.

We joined our good friends, Steve and Kim Leuty along with their family on another excursion. The sites are just magnificent! We saw many wild animals including two bears. One was so close I thought the kids were going to just pet it. We jeeped, hiked, fished and relaxed up in the cool mountain air. We even got to eat wild gooseberries. By the end of our visit, all of the children earned their Junior Ranger badge. Six in all. Great job!
