Life on the Road

I'm sitting in my hotel room overlooking the Arkansas River in Wichita, Kansas. I'm here for business but would like to take a moment to reflect.

This summer, I visted the headwaters of the Arkansas river near Twin Lakes and Independence Pass in Colorado. I touched the water today but hundreds of miles away from where I was. The small trickles of water and streams in the mountains moved my spirit with their pristine beauty. However, after traveling the many miles of terrain through Colorado and Kansas, the water has now become a wide river of silt and mud.

Life is like this...we start out pure and simple as a new born baby, but as we grow and collect knowledge and life's experiences, we collect silt and muddy water in our own lives. But, when we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior...we become filtered and clean again.

God bless those who read this and may you be filled with much happiness and joy through our Lord Jesus Christ.
