Be careful what you hope

Mountains
Mount Gould, right, from Swiftcurrent Mountain.

Be careful what you hope for.

When your home no longer has crying and or fighting children…

Recall how you hoped the noise and battling would go away.

Sound legit?

This is the front of the t-shirt from the previous post – the one with the Steve Prefontaine quote.

When the disciple is trained well, the disciple becomes like the teacher.

Steve Prefontaine’s inner circle didn’t label him a runner.

Pre’s inner circle labeled him a rebel, who just happened to be a runner.

Rebel see.

Rebel do.

Without prayer

Prayer.

Where would you be without it?

Kinda like the evening news, we lead with the negative-side of life.

Why?

No one slows down on the highway until there’s an accident. Then suddenly, most people want to get a good look.

Why?

Maybe to, for a brief moment, feel insanely blessed that it wasn’t us.

Focus on serving

Focus on coming alive (serving), don’t focus on dying (being served).

Thin places

mountain goat
This Mountain Goat surprised me. We are deep in the wild. This encounter was a thin place.

Thin places are everywhere. All the time.

A thin place is yin and yang.

A thin place is where earthly pain meets Heavenly joy.

It’s a place where you look at something earthly yet it appears or feels other-worldly, Heavenly.

GNP accentuates this concept exceptionally well in the higher elevations.

High places are scary to get to.

High places are scary sometimes to even stand on when the wind is fierce.

High places offer a rare opportunity for conditions to magnify a thin place experience.

Thin places are calling and i must go.
