These lines are from "The Gate of the Year," a poem written in 1908 by Minnie Louise Haskins:

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year"Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." And he replied, "Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!"

Doesn't that just speak volumes for our relationship with Christ. Give it up! Turn it over! Have faith!

I am glad to have 2008 in the books and I look forward to things already planned for 2009! Keep looking here for (and / or the GBB National web site) for High Adventure 2009 updates.
