I used to be a mountain climber. It was great fun and wonderful exercise; it took me to beautiful and strange places around the globe. I learned about other people, languages, and cultures, and I learned about faith. It wasn’t universal or ambient faith; rather it was measured, documented, tested, and focused. I learned to trust quality equipment, experienced climbers, and friendships. I witnessed a few deaths. But I saw hundreds, even thousands of

acts of selflessness, love, and kindness. Some of those acts of kindness probably saved my life.

God’s letter of love, the Bible, is filled with good advice.  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” “O rest in the Lord; wait patiently for Him.” “He waits on high to have compassion on you, to be gracious to you.” “I, the Lord, am your God; open your mouth and I will fill it!”

Being a Christian requires a climber’s faith. Trust in the Lord, and. . . CLIMB ON!

​In His Name,
​Kent

You were brave to take on mountain climbing. I couldn't do that because I am afraid of high places and fearful of falling.

I loved your message about Peter and his second chance. I know about second chances and it is great when we can turn things around.
