GOD MOVES IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
-- William Cowper

Understanding & Faith
…faith is not necessarily, or not soon, a resting place. Faith puts you out on a wide river in a little boat, in the fog, in the dark. Even a man of faith knows that we’ve all got to go through enough to kill us.
-- Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
-- St. Augustine
I am a man who has hoped, in time, that his life, when poured out at the end, would say, “Good-good-good-good-good!” like a gallon jug of the prime local spirit. I am a man of losses, regrets, griefs. I am an old man full of love. I am a man of faith.

Kalhaven Trail Ride 2008
25 riders from VSF rode 20+ miles on one of the more beautiful days of the year...to the equally beautiful beaches of South Haven, Michigan. A great day of activity and fun with friends.
