Luke 1:1-4, 3:1-14

To start with this path was all ups, then of course coming back it was all downs. Sometimes it was through a sparsely wooded valley and then we were in the a shady glade amongst dense trees. We did not know what to expect from the next twist to left or right or brow of hill; sometimes a broad open valley with sweeping views to the not so distant Tetons, sometimes a moose on the path, sometimes a steep incline for us to defeat with our puffing panting aging bodies. Those kinks in the incline certainly slowed us down. Thus we slowly progressed up the canyon.

What progress we would have made on a straight and paved footpath with no obstacles to prevent us from seeing Jesus coming down the road towards us.
