             Zest for life [with Jesus?] why is there still a question mark in the form of hesitation/resistance? On July 15th I felt drawn to return to the state park Devil's Hopyard and "find" the waterfall. To do so, I had to carefully walk in faith over wet rocks. Children were doing it, and that gave me the courage I needed. The next day, July 16, I turned the page in The Chosen and saw this: "Day 15 ROCK" I read, I wrote, I prayed, I meditated, I turned the page. "Day 16 REPENT" and I read, but I did not write much yesterday... I did read and listen to Chasing Daylight: Seize the Power of Every Moment by Erwin Raphael McManus and gladly and gratefully visited with Aunt Joan, Mom, and then with Mom and her friend Theresa Fallon whose 93rd birthday is today, July 17, 2020. and with that, I turn the page. Day 17 COME AND SEE...
