I am often inspired by the words Calvin Coolidge wrote when he said,
“Measured by the standards of men of their time, the Pilgrims were the humble of
the earth. Measured by later accomplishments, they were the mighty. In
appearance weak and persecuted they came – rejected, despised – an insignificant
band, in reality strong and independent, a mighty host of whom the world was not
worthy, destined to free mankind.”
The Pilgrim Trail will bring you stories from fellow pilgrims and pioneers,
spiritual nourishment from saints of old, as well as quotes and nuggets of encouragement, inspiration, and enlightenment.
Within each of us is the linage of a pilgrim - those noble souls who
blazed the trails before us. As you consider your own personal pilgrimage, let
your heart consider these words from the prophet Jeremiah; “Stand at the
crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and
walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Jeremiah 6:16)
It is my hope that through the Holy Spirit, the right message will
penetrate through the words on these pages - that the content offered here will
encourage you, will inspire you, will maybe even awaken and enlighten you.
God is stirring the hearts of his people today in a new way. When we look above
the fog of this world we live in there is an amazing life waiting for us. And
as we rise up into our authentic selves, God is going to use you and me to do
great things in this world and in the lives of others.
