Three weeks to go, it’s time to start getting a little nervous. The things I’m worried about are: Water, Food, Injury, and Failure, so let’s take these things one at a time.

Beginning late last fall, on most mornings while enjoying a period of quiet reflection with my Bible and other books, I often lingered in my favorite chair until a hymn came to mind.

It’s a strange thing to say that laying a pal to rest turned out to be one of the most beautiful days of my life. But that’s the truth. And I’ve been blessed with having experienced many beautiful days. We lost our friend of 35 years, the renowned photographer Kurt Markus, two years ago on June 12, 2022.
