Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. (Deuteronomy 33:25) Here are two things provided for the pilgrim: shoes and strength.

When you’re weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all; I’m on your side. When times get rough And friends just can’t be found, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. When you’re down [...]
