Our trip to Pittsburgh was over.  It was time to head home.  In order to get back to the van, we had to travel back up the incline one last time.

We were tired and ready to head back.  The trip up was a short rest.

We climbed and climbed.  Passing the other car as they journeyed down to the city.

The trip was fun.  But it was time to come to an end.

Farewell Pittsburgh!

Lesson for church:  There is a time and a season for everything – even at church.  It’s a good idea to examine what goes on at church.  Is it time for something to end?  Celebrate it and close the page on it.  God has other things up God’s sleeve, just waiting to happen.

When in Pittsburgh, you travel on the inclines.  Our incline of choice for this trip was:

The incline is pleasant and offers some incredible views of the city.

Even on a rainy day.

And an added benefit is the view back towards the top of the incline.

Lesson for church: Pay attention to what you see around you.  There are people hurting and people experiencing great joy.  Pay attention to the people who enter the doors of the church and when you go outside the doors, pay attention to the people around you.  You might find some incredible things and people.
