I was heartbroken to learn my husband of seventeen years secretly wrestled with a pornography addiction that began when he was just a teenager. Even more shocking was that his obsession had morphed into a physical relationship with an underage girl he met online. His arrest and subsequent prison sentence assaulted my emotions, finances, and sense of reality. With my self-confidence violently shaken and my faith in God seriously challenged, reestablishing a hope-filled existence seemed impossible. Yet I discovered when the hour is darkest, God shines brightest. Suffering may be inevitable, but we do not have to embrace it like a warm quilt on a chilly night or even enjoy wearing it like a highly polished badge of honor. We can choose to trust God in the midst of the truly awful and elect to adopt the words and attitude of the psalmist: "But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more" (Psalm 71:14).Kathie Williams lives in North Carolina where she is working as a church secretary and raising her two sons.

Ojo Caliente is located in Northern New Mexico. The town is well know for the hot mineral springs and is about 50 miles north of Santa Fe. From there you can go on a hike to see the Posi Pueblo ruins. The Posi Ouinge (po-see-o-wing-gay) was actually the home to the Tewa Indians. According to the Bureau of Land Management's information flyer: they lived in and around Ojo Caliente during the late 1300's until the early 1500's. Also: Posi Pueblo was inhabited by generations for over a thousand years and the village may have had as many as 1,000 ground floor rooms and almost as many on the 2nd and 3rd stories. Another note in the information flyer that you can take on your hike from the BLM is that: oral histories tell us Posi-ouinge was the Tewa home for a long time until an epidemic struck and the elders decided the people should depart. When you arrive to the area you can still find shards of clay from when the Tewa lived there. You however MUST leave any pottery or artifacts where you find them as it is illegal take any. One can only imagine as I did (and was inspired to write the poem of the Posi Ouinge) what a wonderful, spiritual place this once was. Another wonderful hike to do in the area is when the aspen trees are changing colors. This is what inspired me to write The Old Aspen Tree
