“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ~

We may go pass Mt. Pilot tomorrow on a trip to the Parkway to see leaves.
We pass Pilot Mountain each time we go to our mountain house. We have only gone up there once. Too bad you can't go up on the knob.
Have a truly blessed week!
