Devotional

Dear Heavenly Father, please bless the food that we

partake tonight and use it to strengthen our bodies to

do your work. Keep your arms around us as we travel

on your journey, and our minds open to your every

opportunity. In the name of your precious son’s name

we pray, Amen

Pam Stout’s trip to Cadiz, Spain in May 2011

Cadiz, the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the Iberian Peninsula and possibly all southwestern Europe. It has been a principal home port of the Spanish Navy since the accession of the Spanish Bourbons in the 18th century.

Congratulations Pam!

We are excited for you and hope to see more of your photos of your upcoming trips!
