Well-marked Path

You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy. - Psalm 16:11 (NRSV)

I visit Oregon’s beautiful Cascade Mountains whenever I can. The many well-marked walking paths lead to a variety of wonderful sights. But two pieces of advice are given to all hikers: don’t stray off the main path, and don’t hike alone. Ignoring either piece of advice can be very dangerous...

Today's Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, always be our guide, for without you we are truly lost. Amen.
