Some scenes from recent days in the Smokies follow. I will upload a few shots over coming days. There are too many for one post on my blog.

It is hard for me to overestimate how much this place means to me. Something about it touches what Scripture calls the inner man and what pagan poets even term the soul.

Thankful to the Lord for this place and for precious people with whom to appreciate it.

I know that I’m just one man, but my prayer is that each generation would protect and preserve such beauty and know such joy.

A special thank you to Peter, too, my old buddy from my seminary days, for his continued kindness and wisdom, and for his allowing us to enjoy his cabin.
