SIGNPOSTS
Signposts are for those who have left well-paved and multi-sloganed spiritual plateaus to travel faintly marked trails to a more abundant Christian life. No matter how much faith we have in our Guide, a signpost marked by another traveler provides needed assurance that we are “still on the right path.” May these signposts from past travelers, contemporary writers, and my own postings encourage you to embrace the rigors of the high trails rather than settle on the plains of spiritual mediocrity.
BLAZES
Blazes on the Appalachian Trail are 6-inch-long by 2-inch-wide white markers that direct and reassure hikers that they’re on the right track. Some encouragements in our pilgrimage come through glimpses of God’s faithfulness — nature, a scripture, a lyric, a line of prose, a simple comment. God often uses small things to sustain us on our journey – even a bit of humor.
