Yosemite – (mostly) Black and White

We traveled to Yosemite recently — a couple days in April that were mild on the Monterey Peninsula, downright hot in inland California, and still quite chilly in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The Workers are Few

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” Jesus told us to go out into the world spreading the Good News. But can people hear the News over the loud rumblings in their bellies?* Can they drink in the Living Water when the water they have isn’t fit to drink? ~~~ We attempted toContinue reading “The Workers are Few”
