The Climb

I climbed up Prayer Mountain today in Phoenix. I am not in as good as shape as I thought. It was an interesting climb. We took the long way up which wore me out but it wasn't that steep. The climb down was steep but quick. I got to the top and was able to see the beauty of this valley that Phoenix is in. Phoenix is a beautiful place and God is at work in this place. I will post some pics from the climb.

I have always thought that climbing a mountain is a lot like the Christian life, ministry, or reaching a goal. The climb can be long, hard, and tiring. When climbing it is good to have accountability, good shoes, water, sometimes take a break, and always keep your eye on the goal. One thing I learned is that you can always do more than you think and when you get to the top it is such a relief.
