All journeys are journeys of encounter with the Lord who walks with us in the cool of the evening. Sometimes they are deadly silent; other times they are full of travail. But all times, no matter what the occasion or circumstance, they are journeys with rather than against; journeys to rather than from; journeys indwelling rather than dissipating. Any journey demands both a challenge and a risk; an act of faith in what is to come because of the assurance of what is past. Yet, the challenge and risk always leads to a homecoming. And the journey home is always shorter and full of special...

"There is always something bigger going on in our lives than we can know or expect."

" In truth, the story of our lives is being written right in front of us. The story line is being revealed every day. For an author to interrupt your story line is unfair. The best another can do is share his own story, looking for commonality in humanity."
