Recently, I said these words to my wife as we began to panic about twenty-five miles north of Jackson, Wyoming:<\/p>\n
\u201cGod is with us. He will help us and provide for us. This is no surprise to him. We need only to be faithful and not lose heart.\u201d <\/p>\n
It was the second day of our much-anticipated family camping trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. We were a good five-hour drive from home, and our vehicle\u2019s transmission had just completely failed.<\/p>\n
The day before, as we started an almost 3,000-foot ascent into the park, I heard and felt a grinding noise and the reluctance of our well-worn GMC Yukon to move forward. \u201cOh, no. This could be really<\/em> bad,\u201d I thought, but it seemed too late to turn back.<\/p>\n We set up camp and enjoyed God\u2019s beautiful creation. The next day, because it was pouring rain, we loaded up the Yukon and drove forty miles into the town of Jackson, Wyoming. Again, the Yukon began to rev and act up. Now, I\u2019m old enough to know better than to respond to these warning bells with my instinctive and familiar proud naivete, \u201cMaybe if I ignore it, it\u2019ll resolve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recently, I said these words to my wife as we began to panic about twenty-five miles north of Jackson, Wyoming: [\u2026]
