"Help"

"Then said [Help], Give me thy hand."
~ John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress

The above is a picture taken in December of 2020 while duck hunting with my father, uncle, and cousin in southeast Missouri. To this day, it is one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken, in spite of it being taken with a cell phone camera.

It reminded me immediately of Christian in his slip into the Slough of Despond, struggling with his burden, when along comes Help to show him the, "good and substantial steps, placed even through the very midst of this slough," by the King.
