Yesterday didn’t turn out like any of us had planned, dreamed or imagined. Even the Search & Rescue folks said through tears, “It just doesn’t usually turn out like this.” I woke up in the dark yesterday morning and I really couldn’t wait to get to the base camp. I could just picture the joyous…

Where Would I Be?

April 10, 2009 Linny Saunders17 Comments

Good Friday – the day we remember how Jesus went to the cross to bridge the gap between mankind and the God of the universe. Making the sacrifice for my sin, well, and your sin. I shudder to think where I would be without His ultimate sacrifice. When I was younger it was hard to…
