It is the day before Thanksgiving, 2025, and Pastor Skip joins us for a special edition of Camino Chronicles. While the calendar says it is a time for thanks, Pastor Skip acknowledges that grief and loss can sometimes create a "vision problem," making it hard to see the beauty that remains.

Sharing openly about the recent loss of his friend and dog, Sky, Pastor Skip discusses the "steep hills" we face in life—those moments when we are most tired and tempted to quit. Drawing from his experiences on the Camino in Spain, he reminds us not to stare at the steepness of the climb or the pain of the moment, but to focus on the top of the hill.

The message centers on Hebrews 3 and the call to "fix your thoughts on Jesus". By keeping our eyes on Him, we can find true Thanksgiving regardless of our circumstances, because we have an inheritance and eternal life that cannot be taken away.
