A MOUNTAIN-TOP EXPERIENCE

We recently hiked The Alum Cove Bluff Trail to Mount LaConte (Carlin’s birthday request).

We had the added joy of the Paine family joining us for this great adventure!

Nothing compares to getting still and quiet and taking in the beauty God has surrounded us with!

But a close secoIMG_4691nd would be the sweet fellowship of Christian friends who love the Lord and strive to magnify Him in their lives.

We are thankful for this time to celebrate a birthday, God’s creation, and precious friendships!
