Have you ever seen a black bear cub with its momma? Maybe you have. But then maybe you haven’t! I have a favorite memory from this past summer that will stick with me probably forever. My family got to go camping in one of our favorite places in the world – Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you have never visited Cades Cove, you should seriously consider doing that. I don’t know what it is about Cades Cove that grips my heart. Maybe it’s the history, maybe it’s the beauty of God’s creation so clearly on display, maybe it’s… I can’t reallyRead More →
