Out on the edge

Chief Ranger Gary H. took this photo of me on the cliffs overlooking the New River Gorge with the NRGB span in the background.
One of the longest arch spans in the world-approx. a mile long I believe…

Lifting Souls

I went to walk at the park near my house , much like everynight where I try and walk at least a mile each evening.
Tonight, the local church was holding a prayer service , where names go on luminary bags, surrounding the Quarter mile track, among gospel singing, as prayers are offered to lift up the souls of those whose names are written.
I took a few photos to give the  Church of this event..
Tonight I was touched by the people I came in contact with, neighbors, strangers…
Tonight, I felt that I walked with God…and perhaps he even heard a few prayers of my own?…….
