Few places more dangerous than our home?
In the lower 48, Grizzly Bears only roam four states.
As recently as a few decades ago, Grizzly Bears only roamed Glacier National Park.
Grizzlies and humans are a dangerous mix.

Prayer isn’t intended to protect us from bad things
What we pray for and what we get are usually pretty close.
When we only pray after something bad has happened we generally get the equivalent to what we get in the aftermath of a hurricane or flood if we didn’t heed the warnings and prepare in advance.
Pray isn’t intended to protect us from bad things.
Prayer is intended to assist us in coping with the inevitable.
Get it?
Inevitable.
It is in our response that we thrive or survive.
Think about it.

His only grandson was born eight months before his final breath.
Jack – a father, not the traveling bear – would have been 80 yesterday (May 19). He raised a son and daughter in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania.
His only grandson was born eight months before his final breath.
Weird how these moments in life come and go.
What emotions should we focus on?
What was lost?
What could have been?
Grateful we got anything at all?
Make the best of it.

Dare to think unthinkable spiritual thoughts
Somewhere around this time of year in 1982 the dream first dreamt nearly a decade prior was about to come true.
There’s a short piece in the book that describes how the inspiration to dream it suddenly appeared.
Coincidently, guest blogger Lorie Sheffer recently sent this NBC article about a man living on $4,500 a year in Oregon.
The bicycle trip (jeff noel’s) began with $75 cash, a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a bottle of honey shaped like Smokey the Bear.
No tent either.
Living simply. Deliberately.
What’s stopping us from thinking like that again?
