Encouraging Verse

1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

As I sat in church last night worshiping and taking communion this verse kept coming to my mind! This morning I read it again in my devotions and each time I read it I find it so encouraging and a great reminder as I start my day. Living unto righteousness is so freeing! God Bless

South Sister Hike

Hiking is a hobby that my husband absolutley loves. Since we have been married I have grown to love it as well. Last summer he kept trying to get me to climb the South Sister with him, but he wasnt sucessful. So this summer I gave in and Sunday Aug 20th I made the journey. It's only 6.5 miles but since it is 10,000 feet to the top it takes quite a while 4.5 hours to be exact. The hiketo the top is very beautiful but at the same time VERY hard! Once I got to the top I realized what an amazing journey I had just made. I am definalty very happy that I can now say I hiked to the top of the South Sister!!
