Final Greatland Wander

Posted on by Fred D

Looks like we’ll be on a jet headed south for the winter next week. Rather than spend the day going through another box of Kleenex today, I hiked up Castle Mountain to dry my tears 😊. I built a rock cairn on top with a Good Book pocket edition for other solitude seekers.

Here’s a few pics snapped along the trail, and one of my foraging feral friends who showed up to bid me adieu. Like Arnold, I assured him, “I’ll be back!” 😊

Contemplating Life

Posted on by Fred D

This Great Smoky Mountains ephemeral, after-the-storm panorama marked the close of another day. The scene evoked a juxtaposed, sobering/joyful contemplation of life’s unknown brevity, and breathtaking beauty. As dusk fell, the confident wisdom of a beloved preacher comforted my thoughts:

“What is your life? You are but a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”

James 4:14

“This is the day the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

“I’ve read the last chapter of Revelation, and we win .”

Billy Graham
