Hope is the most over looked word in serving a living Lord. No one but you knows the strength of your Hope. When you apply hope in it’s right place and the Lord sees what you are willing to go for, then you are in the right frame of mind to please your Saviour, and action has already begun for you.

So many times when we think of our outdoor activities we envision an event with a friend or family member. What I was reminded of recently was that for some, the outdoors involves the whole family. Many families love to spend time in a campground or at the lake.
