Onward to Zion!
No, we didn’t go to the Biblical Zion, but our caravan of 40 headed to Zion National Park. It is a beautiful place with sheer sandstone cliffs reaching 2000 feet above. This place is a rock climber’s dream and for the climber’s mother, a nightmare! Much of the sheer cliffs are of Navaho sandstone. In some places, the sandstone is heavily cross-bedded leading the Park officials to think that the sand was put down over millions of years in ancient wind-blown desert sand...

It made me realize again just what a battle we are in, and how sad it is. These young innocent lives were being...

Was it drought? Perhaps they fled from hostile tribes – or perhaps volcanoes rained down hot material on them. Some people think the Pueblo and Hopi Indians are their descendants. No one...
Read MoreHe Is Alive!
In June of 2010 I shared about how a great wind had blown over a willow tree by the pond, roots exposed to the sky. I didn’t have the time to deal with it right then, so we left it until fall to cut it up and remove it. As it turned out, I didn’t get around to it in the fall or even the winter. This spring I noticed that it had leaves blooming out of the branches … the tree is still alive. So instead of chopping the tree up for firewood, I hooked it up to my...
