This blog is for everyone, and all are always welcome here, but I do have a special request for those visitors who feel comfortable going before God in prayer when situations seem wildy out of control.
The Gulvas family are old friends of mine. They’re kind, humble, and most of all, steadfast in their faith, even in the most tragic circumstances. Tuesday, the unthinkable happened. While hiking in the Colorado wilderness, 21-year-old Josh Gulvas hiked a parallel trail to his dad, Rand, but never arrived at their rendezvous location. A massive search has been going on for two days now, and the rescue team has been narrowing down Josh’s location, but as far as we know, haven’t been able to find him.

Please pray for Josh’s safe return and for those who are eagerly awaiting him. He is well-loved, so there are many, many people who are missing him dearly right now.
