We realized we were not going to meet our goal in time and the delight of anticipating the next day had waned. There are times to persevere no matter what the cost, but there are also times to stop, so Pecos is the end and we won't make it to the Pacific coast. God tells us there are different times and seasons.
"I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
