Stories of faith, hope and encouragement

Where others have walked

“The hills and river clifts which we passed today exhibit a most romantic appearance. The bluffs of the river rise to the hight of from 2 to 300 feet and in most places nearly perpendicular... the soft sand clifts woarn into a thousand grotesque figures . . . with the help of a little immagination are made to represent the eligant ranges of lofty freestone buildings... collumns of various sculpture both grooved and plain... with the help of less immagination we see the remains of ruins of eligant buildings.” - Lewis & Clark, May 31, 1805

Have you ever found yourself in a place and felt as though you were not alone?

I don’t mean like there’s someone stalking you or that the place is haunted; not that.  More like you are standing on ground where important people have walked before and even though centuries have passed, they are somehow still there, mindful and cheering you on, like the saints of old.

It’s mystical and eerie and hard to explain, but that’s how I felt at Writing-on-Stone, near Lethbridge, Alberta.

A blistering desert sun bastes the hoodoos of Writing-on-Stone Park near Milk River, Alberta, Canada.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverancethe race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

It was a good feeling; a timely place to reflect upon the roads we have traveled and the transition before us as we prepare to step out in faith to join YWAM Ships’ media team later this fall.
