Carol Wilson Update

Stage 4 Cancer brought many challenges--and also a host of loving and praying friends. Almost-daily postings to this site are to help my friends walk with me through this journey, and to express my gratitude to them and especially to God...On 7/8/08 Carol passed through that final curtain of death and is now healed. We thank God for her life and "arrival"! Chuck

Breathtaking



Oh! How I wish you all could see this gorgeous place (Bryce Canyon). I don't like to use cliches, but breathtaking is the right word. Chuck and I cut our hike short (due to the other meaning of "breath-taking") and then we simply walked along the rim--pausing often to give attention to the marvels in front of us. We didn't--couldn't--talk. We simply looked. The beauty is enough to bring tears to the eyes. The McGraths continued on for a very challenging and long hike through the bottom of the canyon, getting right up close to those astounding rock formations. They came back to camp raving about what they had seen.

We'll head out early Wednesday morning for Zion National Park. It's unique; the road travels through the bottom of the canyon, and all hiking is done up first. The rocks there are huge and very different from Bryce Canyon.

Today's verses from Psalm 65:

You take care of the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The rivers of God will not run dry. They provide a bountiful harvest of grain, for you have ordered it so. You drench the plowed ground with rain, Melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops.

I feel so well. Thanks for your prayers. I'm doing my best to eat right and do the right things to promote health.

Love,

Carol

Hi
I am hooked on your daily blogs & miss them when you are gone from your computer! God's scenery is certainly breathtaking and majestic beyond description. Camping is a great way to soak it up. So is biking. We went on a Father's Day Bike run to Asheboro (after Earl got off work 4 the day.) John (our son) & Julie rode in on his Harley Road King Dlx & we met in Asheboro where John treated us to a Father's Day dinner. The scenery on those country roads was heavenly. We rode back on I-85 and our motorcycle broke down in Concord...the scenery was NOT so pretty as we stood there stuck on I-85 in the dark for hours with cars and truck whizzing by & a dead motorcycle. Nice cop & nice tow man came & we got home safely at 1:30am-xena
