Echoes From the Campfire

“Here the news that forced him to think of himself as a man somehow related to and responsible to his kind. He had gone to and fro over the trails of the desert, and many adventures had befallen him.

Echoes From the Campfire

Echoes From the Campfire

“I love to see some of the gnarled old trees; cedars and bristle-cone pines are favorites of mine, for so often they live where it doesn't seem possible to live. They grow right out of rocks, gnarled and twisted and old . . . but strong, stronger than anything but time, and they are part of time.” --Louis L'Amour (Under the Sweetwater Rim) "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also…See More

"I think that God allows things to happen because of our stupidity, then we have to pay the cost, or someone does." --D.C. Adkisson (Redemption) "Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving." --Colossians 4:2 (NKJV) One thing for sure you need to survive in this wicked world is prayer.

Echoes From the Campfire

“For it was our way to go onward; to go forward and to try to shape our world into something that would make our lives easier, even if more complicated. Our struggle was for time.
