The Climbing

"It was the most beautiful place under heaven or sky. Mountains and rock, trees, desert, and blue lake - all lay before him in exquisite detail. The air was so clear he felt he could see the end of the earth, the sky so deep blue, it seemed to merge into space. The view was entirely indescribable to those who were unwilling to pay the price, those unwilling to get out and make the steep mountain climb." "What was it, he wondered, that drove him to the summit? What was it that compelled him to climb the steep path, working his way up the dangerous trail? He couldn't answer the question; all he knew was that he felt it necessary to climb, to reach the highest point, to be on top of the world, to measure the distance, to see both sides of the mountain and the granite peaks all around. Being up there helped him, somehow, to understand the way things operated down below, reminding him that there was more to life than the daily grind."

Jesus Loves Me....


Hey Friends,

I spent the weekend with some of my family from Oxford,MS! I am always amazed at how the Lord finds ways to touch me and to testify of his love for me. My grandmother has a music/studio room in her house that our entire family uses to write songs, sing, etc...I heard my cousin singin' and so I went into the music room. She was singing a "Baptist church version" of the popular LDS song, "I Am A Child Of God." The song is called, "Jesus loves me." I was so impressed by this little 3 year old who so boldy sang that she KNEW Jesus loved her! Why is it that we forget that? It seems that as life gets harder, we forget one of the most important truths in this entire world---that Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, LOVES US! Just as my young cousin so bravely professed to our entire family and probably most of the neighborhood :D, we must too know...that he loves us and will not fail us when we need him the most!

Con mucho amor,
Ash
