Moments on Mountains - Old Testament

Have you ever climbed a mountain before? There is a difference between climbing and hiking up a mountain. I have hiked up mountains – quite a few. Actual climbing? I think I would regard my first “climb” up High Rock as a climb, especially the last third up that mountain, when we hit snow. It was grueling, slipping, sliding, crawling and clinging onto my son, Shannon. But I made it! I had one thing that literally drove me to conquer this mountain – to congratulate my son on his success graduating and achieving excellent results at the University of Washington, U.S.A. In other words, I had a purpose – an aim, even at the age of 66 years.

JOY on your Journey

Is this JOY? Someone’s birthday whom you love? No, that is not joy!

Or are you apprehensive of some stranger trying to step into your private space?

Building in Ecuador is unique. Steel rods are used throughout the structure. Every piece of steel is cut on site, and the steel columns assembled. I have never seen such hard-working and industrious people in my life. You almost get the feeling that you are the Egyptian and the slightly built men are the Hebrews, as seen in the Scriptures.
