You have been chosen

The Chosen app screen shot
Came highly recommended. 

What do you believe in?

All in?

Congrats. 

If unsure about 100% all in, when will you figure it out? How does it feel not knowing?

Ps. Possible spoiler alert: perhaps Jesus isn’t the reason for the title. Perhaps the disciples are the chosen ones. 

Have you chosen yourself to make our world better by improving one person, you?

Hometown Church

  • We all have mountains to climb. 
  • Magic is the harvest for a life done with excellence.

My attitude about peace and contentment. Be at peace with who you are and content with what you have.

Church is every step

  • Severe drought? Metaphorically for this post, it’s the closest photo from the plane-ride photos that themes with a pool. 
  • Minutes after arriving home yesterday.

Yesterday’s seven-hour flight reminded me that jumping in the pool first thing upon arriving home is a Church-moment. 

It is a Church-moment just for me. 

Jesus retreated into the mountains to think, prioritize, and plan. 

In the absence of mountains, a pool will do.

Annoyingly patient

  • Logan Pass arrival. Miraculously, and easily, found open parking spot. 
  • Patiently waited for weather to warm, wind to settle down (never any guarantee). Lunch was easy using the JetBoil. 
  • Finally caved from being patient. Hit the trail three hours after simply hanging out at Logan Pass. Actually leaned towards not hiking at all. Then the fitness test idea surfaced.

So amazingly glad to initiate a fitness test. Surprised the heck out of myself. A high level of contentedness i never saw coming.

One match fire

  • October 3 hike. Eleven miles and 8.5 hours in backcountry. 
  • Looking left as we climb to Piegan Pass. 
  • Looking Northeast from the Pass.
  • Looking North from the Pass.
  • Remnants of the former Bishops Cap Glacier.
  • Location context: Pollock Mountain, East side. 
  • Ange Wing, left-center foreground.
  • L-R: Siyeh, Mahtapi, Going-to-the-Sun Mountain, (partial) Piegan Mountain. Oct 3, 2021.
  • Different kind of rainbow.

As a young teenager, was taught to (obsessively?) build a one-match fire. 

A simple vision: you may one day find yourself in a survival situation where a fire is the only thing that will keep you alive overnight. 

Plan for worst case scenario, and, you only have one match. The fire has to start before the match goes out or you could die.

Life or death situation. 

It has to succeed. 

You don’t get a second chance.

Zealot?

Let’s hope so.
