I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:9-10 NIV
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen.
"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"
"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
Luke 19:37-40 NIV
Let's Go Down to the River
John 1:6-13 NIV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made, without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
John 1:1-4
1 Corinthians 2:9
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
Psalm 91:5-6
A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, 'Teacher, don't you care if we drown?'
Congaree National Park protects the largest remaining tract of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in North America. The boardwalk is a 2.4 mile loop roundtrip. The Weston Lake is an oxbow lake. It was once a bend in the Congaree River. Over 2,000 years ago the river gradually changed its course and meandered south, leaving behind Weston Lake. The standing dead trees are called snags and are full of insect, spiders and fungi. The summer heat would make this park unbearable with flies and mosquitoes. There are no ocean breezes or cool mountain air so hiking the park is best in the spring or winter.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Psalms 46:1-7 NIV
