Is It Possible?

of dawn and drive snowy roads so that he could open it up and get ready for the days services. The smell of the damp logs and dirt, the old hymnals and the hard wooden pews. And it was drafty... I can't decide which part of the memory I love most, the feeling that we were being transported right into the pioneer days or the ice cream in Farson Mercantile afterward... these days inspired my faith in God in such a simple and profound way that I have never stopped pursuing Him.
I have always loved the mountains. I am pretty sure this love was not present at birth because I was born in the Arizona desert. It grew over time...but one particular summer is etched in my mind. Daddy worked in a coal mine and his schedule was insane. Day shift, night shift, swing shift... for 20+ years, whatever The Man asked my Dad to do, he pretty much did. And he NEVER took a sick day, EVER. My Mama stayed home so whenever my Dad's "weekend" was we would head to the mountains to go camping.
