From visits with the House and Senate Capitol Investment Committees to securing funding to repair and expand several miles of trail, the Friends of the Casey Jones State Trail has been making significant headway over the last year.

Dear friends in Christ, in the Gospel text from Luke 4:1-13 we read about the time that the devil personally tempted Jesus in the wilderness. God the Son has taken up human flesh. He is bringing the battle to the earth. This is the one who will crush the serpent’s head. Not long after the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in bodily form, like a dove; this very same Spirit led Jesus in the wilderness for forty days of temptation. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.

When I started my career, I lived in California. I grew up in Sacramento, a town of 1,000,000. I later moved to a small town up north, Redding. Redding was a town with a population of 100,000 where the shock of living in such a “small town” was difficult to adjust to. In these towns, I’ve worked around journalism for the past 25 years. I have always loved journalism. It is the reason I sought my first job in newspapers (accounting), just so I could be near the printed word in the hopes that maybe someday, my words could be on the page.
