I’m calling it The Journey.

 

 

12 days left in the piney woods and I’m happy and sad.

It’s what I’m on.

In fact, it’s what we’re all on.

TheJourney.  The path and direction of our life.

2013 is a new section of the journey.  The road is clear and seems level as far as the eye can see.

But past parts of TheJourney remind me that the coming year will be filled with uphill climbs, boulders in the path, fatigue, and “many dangers, toils, and snares” as John Newton said in “Amazing Grace.”

I’m a fellow struggler on this journey.  Any advice or wisdom I possess is simply from stumbles, storms, and the unspeakable comfort of God’s direction of each step.

Join me this year on TheJourney.

As my journey (Lord willing) goes to a new place and new direction on “The Continent.”  Africa.

Each year on both sides of January 1 , I evaluate my life plan. This week on our blog I’ll be sharing the current plans.

I hope you enjoy following our “10 Pins Life Plan” in the coming weeks.

I encourage you to develop your own written plan.

Blessings on your Journey.

2013 Keyword:   Juxtaposition!*

Juxtaposition is the process of comparing and contrasting two totally different objects.

Such as apples and oranges.

Or maybe,  Africa and the Piney Woods.

It should be fun!
