The essays in this book are like a hike in the woods. Each piece is an adventure in the Christian faith of what is known and what is unknown. What is known are the fundamental truths we cling to and claim as children and people of God. What is unknown in this adventure of faithful living is what we will experience, feel, think, or imagine about faith during any given month or season. Because we have the promise of God’s presence with us every day in this adventure, we continue on the path. Anticipating a new encounter with God every day.May your journey on this path be an adventure of discovery and faith. 3
