The Web of Humanity

We had a clear God-moment yesterday. Charlie really wanted to hike to Guemes and stay in the Albergue Abuelo Peuto, directed by Padre Ernesto. It is located in a fairly isolated area that isn’t well-marked. We lost the Camino for some time but wound our way around to the general…

Lately, I came across a CD by Steven Curtis Chapman called The Glorious Unfolding. The title song is a powerful testimony to how our lives unfold throughout the years and though we may not be able to see it at the time, God is present and guiding us all along…
