The Roland Allen Post

  My friend John and I are encouraging each other to set goals for the week.   My list includes spending time daily doing sustained aerobic activity. For me, this means either bicycling, hiking, walking or jogging.  This is a photo from this evening's walk in Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park.   I have a fairly long list of goals for this week. However, I think most people who read this blog will better appreciate a pretty picture.

I discovered a nature trail in Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park soon after moving to this part of Orange County. The benches under these California Sycamore Trees have become one of my favorite places to sit quietly at the end of the day. I like having a place where I can reflect on the day's events. Sitting usually leads to prayer. Prayer, in turn, leads to hope and intention.
