GOD WILL NOT LET YOU FALL

My family and I went camping this past summer. We took several hikes down the little river bed as it flowed through the Cuyamaca State Park near our home in San Diego. We stopped for a picnic lunch, and ate with our feet in the cool running water.

As I ate my sandwich, I started tracing a trail through the rocks that shot up into the air in front of us. It was an old habit from days gone by of rock scrambling: no ropes, no hardware, no helmet, no brains! As teenagers, and even into college, my buddies and I would climb the rocks of Big Bend in Texas. I'm sure I'll get in trouble with the folks from safety but I confess...I got up and started to climb; partly to prove something to myself and mostly to show off for my bride of nine years.

Our daughter of fifteen watched me for a bit and started to follow. She caught up with me and we went over the basics. I showed her the path she was to take which involved little skill and kept mom happy. I took the more difficult route and we met at the top. Unless you rappel, getting down is usually more difficult, so I stayed close to Tiffany in order to offer help should she need it. The tendency is to cling to the rock but often it's best to lean out away from it for better balance and stability. As she was coming down, I was below verbally guiding her. She couldn't see the next ledge below her, and was trying her best to stretch in order to touch it while hanging on to the hand hold above. I could see exactly what she needed to do and knew she was capable of doing it. I told her she just had to trust me. With confidence in Dad, she lowered herself the last few inches and fully planted her feet on secure rock. You could see the pride shining in her eyes (and probably mine too)!

Just think of how many times our heavenly "Dad" is below us; seeing the next step perfectly, even when we are blind to the future. There are times when we simply have to trust God to not let us fall. The more we learn to depend on God the easier it gets to place our lives into those loving hands with confidence. The next time you find your footing somewhat unsure, and the fear of falling looms up from below, remember that God is there for you, anxious to show you the way and guide you one step at a time.

Weekly Prayer for America

Lord Jesus, because You are the Truth, reveal to us Christians any part of our lives that is untrue. Make known to us any insincerity in thought, word, or deed, for it is insincerity that so often injures our testimony to our countrymen and to the world. We don’t act because our heart is distracted. Others don’t respond because they sense divided loyalty in us. Keep us from causing others to stumble. Guide us so that our lives truly center on You. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.

It sprung?? Woohoo!!

I’m enjoying my time with my sister, and she and my Mom are enjoying their time. My sister keeps telling me I’m “off duty”.

And she keeps cooking...this is not good. LOL!

We just missed breaking 70 today - tomorrow another cooling trend begins - high 49 - low 25 - cooling trend continues - probable snow Tuesday. :)

I know Father Chuck Suver, God rest his soul!

WOW! He was quite a hero, as are most Chaplains, doing their "work" during good times and bad.

A Blessed Lord's Day to you, Salvation, and to yours.

Did you and Lynn_Dah get out saling today? Any treasures?

How is your porch garden doing?

Regular meeting place in the morning? Will you be a quartet? Trio? Solo?

[Kathy in Alaska]

To our Military -

Thank you for protecting us. Sleep well and safe.
May you be protected. May your families' hearts be at ease.

Thank you to our Allies.

To those of our Military and Allies who gave their all,
- May your souls rest in peace. May your families be comforted.
May your/our country always remember.

[Salvation]

I knew him when he was back stateside and working with Marriage Encounter in the United States.

It was unbelievable to see his picture. He was a Jesuit who would tell you straight away how it was. No mingling or mangling of words or Scripture. A person knew he was telling the truth — very charismatic too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Gulf, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

All day sun and blue skies today. Hope for the same tomorrow.

I’m trying, rather unsuccessfully, to make a path for the ice rink at the bottom of the driveway to drain when it is water during the day.

And Every Chance Demands A Noble Knight!

already mounts the parapet.
