Emphasis Preaching Journal

Several years ago, on a family vacation, I found myself in a difficult situation driving over the Great Smokey Mountains. We had left Cherokee, North Carolina, early in the morning, surrounded by dense fog. It was only 30 miles to Gatlinburg on the other side of the enormous hills. This short distance should not have taken very long to drive, but it actually took us an hour and half. The heavy fog slowed us to moving at a snail's pace. A few hours later the sunlight broke through and we made up some of the lost time.
