That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare. If we’re to live up to her own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in all the bridges we’ve made. ![]() Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one shall make them afraid.
