The Pleasant Ways of the Wise | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Happy is the man who finds wisdom…her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who retain her. Proverbs 3:13,17-18 My husband and I just enjoyed a meandering drive across West Virginia where we visited old cemeteries and explored his family’s original “stomping grounds.” One of our stops was at the reconstructed homestead of pioneer Watters Smith, now the site of a state park.

Hope Amid Fearsome Floods | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
