Out for a Walk

The human body is one of the most amazing machines ever created. We are able to do so many things from climbing mountains to running marathons, and biking 100 miles to graceful slam dunks.

The more science helps us advance the powers of the human body, the more human beings seem to have no limit as to what they can achieve.

However, the one thing that our body was best designed for is walking. God hand crafted the parts of what we are to be able to travel from point A to point B with efficiency and ease. We take for granted the simplicity of what we do every day.

We are made to walk with Him.

No one ever sets out to be a fool or become one on purpose. We take our eyes off of the Lord and make decisions apart from Him. We let go of His hand and take matters into our own hands. That's how we lose step. We don't walk wisely.

So go take a walk today...as you go, make sure you never let go of God's hand. We were created to walk hand in hand with our heavenly Father. It's the most natural thing we can do.

Unto the mountains...

Since kamp has been over, most every morning I have been on my bike. I just need to work out a little of that left over kamp energy before I go to sit in an office for 8hours. It's therapy for sure.

When you ride around here, you always feel like you are going up a hill. It's tough to find a flat spot in the Ozarks. But you know what? I don't mind. Not only is it a good workout, it's always great scenery.

Each morning as I make the turn to head back in to town, I pass a spot in the road where you can see for miles. It's a typical Ozarks mountain view where the greens and the blues just come alive as far as the eye can see.

It's there that I think of Psalm 121 when David says, "I will lift my eyes unto the mountains, for where shall my help come from? My help comes from the Lord..." the Palmist continues, "Who made heaven and earth."

Always Good

It's always good to be in Jayhawk land.

This past weekend I took some time to stop over in Lawrence to give Aj a tour of the KU campus. As a high school sophomore, one of the places he is considering for college is Kansas. After all, he would be in good company.

His time included a tour of the campus, lunch in the Union where he spent some time listening to why it would be good to become a Jayhawk, as well as taking a few minutes to meet and talk to Bill Self. Sweet time in the land of Oz for sure.

We were at the game that night to see some of Todd Reesing and the football team. We ended up hanging out with Weston, Whealon, Leigh, Whitney Bruce, Emily, Stewart, and few other Kwest staff.

It's always good to be in Lawrence...
