Hike at Dismal Canyons

Yesterday my hubby and I went to Dismal Canyons which wasn't that bad of a drive for us. It was cool beautiful weather and we went during the "golden" time of day when the sun hits everything so pretty and it casts that beautiful golden hue on everything. By the way, that is my favorite time of day (end of afternoon beginning of evening). This place had so many waterfalls and streams and bridges! The only thing I missed was the trees weren't at their peak in color...they are pretty much still green or have brown dead leaves. I heard that in this part of the country if you don't get a lot of rain before Fall, the leaves won't change color that much...however, if you get a bunch of rain they will be the most vibrant of all colors! This year we had almost a drought...it was dry as a bone! I have a feeling I will be missing my beautiful Fall foliage. :( Here are some picture of our little trip to Dismal Canyons. By the way, we took Bunni with us! She had a blast!

Things God Won't Ask You On That Day

I got this forward in an email today from a friend of mine. I thought it was truly amazing and so true!!! This life is so short and what the world thinks as "important" really isn't!!! It doesn't matter about our job status, the in-style clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the income we make!!! What matters is that we live our lives to glorify Jesus!!!

1. God won't ask you what kind of car you drove, He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

2. God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

3. God won't ask about all the clothes in your closet, He'll ask how many poor people you clothed.

4. God won't ask what your highest salary was, He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

5. God won't ask you what your job title was, He'll ask you if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

6. God won't ask what kind of neighborhood you lived it, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

7. God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character.

8. God won't ask how many friends you had, He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

9. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek salvation, He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in Heaven and not the gates of hell.
