Stepping Out

While I thoroughly enjoy putting together the posts for WORD Pictures, I have been hankering for a home where I can journalize in my own words and photos and poetry, the happenings, great and small,  that comprise my life . . . the parables whereby God speaks to me.  This is me . . . engaging in the art of life, and hopefully, haltingly, eventually getting the message.

  

This photo, taken in the Avenue of the Giants in California, reminds me that there IS light at the end of the tunnel.  And it gets me to thinking, even as I write this, that I often have to face and defeat a giant or two in order to receive the prize.  Even though the road has been long, often lonely, and frought with twists and turns I would never have imagined, the promises of God remain yes and amen.  And so I keep on, "looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross . . .  (Hebrews 12:2)
