This weekend our daughter Heather and I went to Springfield, MO, for Forward Baptist Church’s annual women’s retreat, where I would be speaking. The drive there was incredible, with the mountains and the leaves changing colors to a beautiful bright red, burnt orange, and lemon yellow. Here is the scenic view of the Ozark river near Forsythe, MO.
