The stories in this book were written in the hope of encouraging you to mine the riches from the mind of God, an unfolding of an extravagant love story between the Creator and His creation. The intent of The Journey is that you may experience how absolutely practical the Bible is to our simplest or greatest dilemmas. The Journey takes you on a pilgrimage to know and love God more each day. West Texas is the setting, with a list of characters the author has known, loved, respected, and sometimes even tried to stay out of their way, as they interacted in everyday circumstances. You will learn that God wants you to know Him face to face just like Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, and Paul. This is a never ending journey which you will experience as you begin your pilgrimage of faith.
