WALKING BY FAITH - I KEEP CLIMBING

LIFE IS TO BE LIVED

Life is to be lived, one

step, one corner

at a time until

We arrive at the crest.

Wistfully looking at

the horizon below

And before, one step

begins the descent

around

and

down,

All the while remembering

the splash of colors,

the shadows and shapes

the hint of glory to come.

Life is to be lived, until

we reach our Destiny,

Home with the Father

at last. Then LIFE really

begins.

June Estelle Cash May 30, 1991

Some years back, when my husband candidated for a number of churches out in the Northwest, we went to Surprise Valley, coming down from Oregon into California by way of Fandango Pass. It was a road that was built for the wagons - it zigzagged down in order to give a horse driven wagon a way to go down.

It was there that a massacre occurred many years ago. But it was a most interesting unforgettable drive down this road for me.

This poem which I wrote later expresses how I feel about Life in what seems to be a precarious experience at times.

Goose lake is a lake which is boundaried by both

California and Oregon.

In order to come from Klamath Falls, OR

we came down on

Fandango Pass.

Here is another shot from Cedarville CA

of the Mountains down which we came.

Here we can see Goose Lake from the trail.

In this map, you can see how we

came down. The view is wonderful, but

expect to be s l o w in driving down

this pass. It is not a highway.

Goose lake is in both states.

If you ever go there, it is well worth the trip.

We went to Fort Bidwell. You can see from this map just how close it is here. Very interesting to find OLD WEST

life still pretty much life here.

Fort Bidwell Not big, but nice.

Most of the way the road looks like this,

but this is more level than on higher.

The rocks speak of God's glory - with shapes here that make me think of huge turtles that were petrified in the aftermath of the flood.

Here is the Surprise Valley - Cedarville Community Church.

It seemed it was "way out in the middle of nowhere"

Everyone was happy to see us, and Henry preached,

and I taught the children in S. S. while he taught the adults.

We went there just that one time.

This link will take you to the Restaurant where we

ate going there and going back to Lakeview Or.

It was so fascinating to watch an empty road become full of trucks

and one by one and sometimes 50 people came in at once

while eating, I observed that everyone was taken care of.

A very good restaurant this was, and I found it on line,

so I am sharing with anyone who is

interested.

What a wondrous message in God's Word!
