God is preparing His heroes; and when the opportunity comes, He can fit them into their places in a moment, and the world will wonder where they come from.
From James 1:17: “Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”
A. B. (Albert Benjamin) Simpson (1843-1919) was a Canadian-born pastor, theologian, and Christian author. He founded the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
From 1 Peter 1:6-7: “In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
Blessed Jesus Christ
His mercy shares love
Brings forth faith’s new birth
Hope stirs from above
Resurrected Christ
His unfading light
He walks among us
Hope ready for flight
Revealed through Jesus
Grace walks within Him
Freed from sin’s darkness
Hope breathes with each hymn
Spirit filled by Christ
More precious than gold
Molds faith’s salvation
Hope rebuilds foothold
Trust in Jesus Christ
Father’s righteous Son
Called to embrace Him
Hope’s faith in the One
From 1 Peter 1:13: “Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when He is revealed.”

If we are to discover the Lord’s best for our life, we must trust His way is better than our plans and desires.
From Jeremiah 29:11-12: “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon Me and come and pray to Me, I will hear you.”
Central Ohio provides opportunities to visit numerous nature parks in Franklin County and the city of Columbus. Located near the community of Groveport, Walnut Woods Metro Park offers a wonderful destination for hikers, photographers, bicyclists, and dog enthusiasts.
Much of Walnut Woods is contained within a former tree nursery and sod farm. Consisting of 1,458 acres, one finds a variety of nature’s treasures: woodlands, wetlands, and vernal ponds. All-weather pathways allow easy access even when rainfall or snow interrupts.
The hiking trails are rated “easy” without any major hills to travel through. Both dogs and bicycles are welcome to travel the park, which is bordered on the north side by Walnut Creek. The park’s interior is bisected by a smaller creek, the Big Run.
Four major trails are found within the park’s vast boundaries. The Buckeye Area follows one of the longest trails at 2 miles. Much of its trail runs alongside Walnut Creek. Rows of former nursery trees, including crab apple and red maples, offer an ever-changing landscape.
The Tall Pines Area is connected to the Buckeye Area by the Monarch Trail, which runs 1.4 miles. The Tall Pines Area features the meandering Sweetgum Trail, which totals 2.6 miles.
If a hiker wishes to walk a natural trail, the Kestrel Trail provides 1.3 miles of grass, gravel, and dirt. This location offers passage through a pair of ponds as well as a visible Osprey nest.
Two dog parks are located in the Buckeye Area. One is designed for larger dogs while the other is suited for smaller ones. Both areas are equipped with nearby well-maintained restrooms and picnic areas.
