Dear Friends,
I love being outside. Even when it’s over 100 degrees! Many of you know that I’m training for a triathlon in September. Part of this training is running, biking and swimming. I try to enjoy myself (when my knees will allow me!) while training. I pray and try to observe the beauty around me. Soon, I’ll be training in a lake for open water swimming. Part of my training will be spotting an object in the distance so that I stay on course. I’ll need to look up every now and then to make sure I’m going where I’m supposed to be going. And so it is with our journey with Christ. Be blessed!

Hold My Hand, and walk joyously with Me through this day. Together we will savor the pleasures and endure the difficulties it brings. Be on the lookout for everything I have prepared for you: stunning scenery, bracing winds of adventure, cozy nooks for resting when you are weary, and much more. I am your guide, as well as your constant Companion. I know every step of the journey ahead of you, all the way to heaven.
You don’t have to choose between staying close to Me and staying on course. Since I am the Way, staying close to Me is staying on course. As you focus your thoughts on Me, I will guide you carefully along today’s journey. Don’t worry about what is around the next bend. Just concentrate on enjoying My Presence and staying in step with Me.
John 14:6
