Mountain Climbing

My Crew on the summit of Mt. Elbert

and our whole group on the summit of Mt. Elbert

   Last week with the help of the Lord and my wonderful youth group of encouragers I climbed a mountain. Mt. Elbert, the tallest mountain in Colorado 14,433 feet. It was the most physically demanding and all-around difficult thing I have ever done. But once we all reached the top, the hardest part was over and the view, as well as the feeling of accomplishment were enough to make us forget the difficulty and realize the beauty of it all. I will never forget what the Lord taught me in the process of climbing that mountain.

"Climb every mountain! Ford ever stream! Follow every rainbow 'till you find your dream!"

-Sound of Music

"if you climb a mountain and you turn around...and if you see my reflection in a snow-covered hill well the landslide will bring you down." -Landslide

"Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?"

-Pocahontas
