As much as I enjoy hunting and am thankful for God’s provision of meat for the winter, I look forward to the New Creation even more. When Christ returns, the wolf will lie down with the lamb, the lion and the calf will eat grass together, and a little child shall lead them (Isaiah 11:7). […]
As we take a breath and look at the calendar, it’s hard to believe we’re halfway through the fleeting season of summer.

All 7 of us – winter-geared up (shoehorn, anyone?) – squeeze into the Piper Lance for the 2.5-hour flight to the Lower Yukon region. Thankful for a clear day below freezing, a tailwind, and a friend to […]
