Encouraging quote of the day
"It ain't no mountain for a climbing man." - Adam, guy i shoveled snow with today.
Carry that attitude into the context of your own situation.
What does it mean to you?

THis is a mural above Terminal B at Anchorage International airport. You'll need to open this pic in another window to read the quote written across the top. I took this during my last hour in Alaska, many days after which i still felt that sentiment. Here's a reason why...
Lake Clark Pass in the Alaska Range during my flight to Iliamna on September 27
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains! Your faithfulness reaches to the sky!
lessons of the my first two days around the sun for the 23rd time: 1) "Count it all joy, my brethren, when you endure trials." 2) keep your heart searching for the woman who is very much like me. She's the one God made for me. 3) when she does come, she will want me, not money or my physical covering. 4) sieze the day for all it's worth, rest and recharge at night 5)
Tactful voicemail of the week: (to my friend Brandon, whose 23rd birthday is today) "Hello passenger of Earth Airlines; this is your captain speaking. We have just reached Trip Twenty-Three around the sun and are on well our way to Trip 80. We have experienced many monents of pleasure, joy, fulfillment, as well as loss and pain, but we wish you that the rest of the journey, though the pain will not pass behind, holds many more periods of satisfaction and happiness. May you travel gracefully, and may the God of peace mount you on His wings always and bless you richly."
today's thought from the Bible: Romans 4: Abraham was given one promise from God, and on this he stood strong because he was fully persuaded that God was able to perform that which He promised. How well am i doing at imitating Abraham in this respect? We have so many more promises than just one, and how many are we standing on steadily day-to-day? Here's another point to consider: God makes so many promises about our life on earth, and yet those are the one's we're most apt to realize in a matter of days or years. How firmly do we rely on and trust these promises to come true? Now, think about the promise of heaven. It's one we will not realize on earth, and yet it seems to be the one we most confidently hold on to. Hm. If we can beleive God for this, can't we beleive Him for anything? Said another way, if we can't beleive God for a number of things he promised us for our earthly life, DO WE REALLY beleive God for His promise of salvation by which we enter Heaven?
