Guide to the Ugly Parts

  I love to see the works of God 's hands still uncorrupted by our advancements. Not as often as I'd like, but as often as I can, I take walks off the beaten path. I never go without a guide . It's important to be on a first name basis with the guide and to trust where he's leading. There's comfort in knowing we are never alone even in the not so beautiful places our guide brings us to. It's only a necessary part of a journey along the way to places of wonderous beauty. Oh, the metaphors that come to mind as the clear water softly washes away the moss and cuts away the stones! But who has time for writing since my guide has more to show me? Did I mention his name is Jesus?
