Praying on the Steps of City Hall

Have you ever prayed at City Hall? I will be on the West steps of the Council Bluffs City Hall to at noon today to pray with whoever gathers for our city. It is part of the National Day of Prayer movement and I will be one of seventeen pastors, almost a tag team kind of thing. We will be praying for about an hour. My prayers are supposed to center on children and youth. We shall see.

The Big Picture

The picture above is Denali (the local name meaning "the big one") or Mt McKinley for us in the lower 48 states. I took this shot June 2007 on our trip to Alaska. We were 35 miles from the mountian and 60 miles in from the lodge in Denali National Park and our bus broke down. We had just encountered bears along side the bus less than a mile a way at the time.

A few days later I found a outfitter service in Talkeetna and flew up up to 12,000 ft around Denali. Worth every penny of the $200.

A good book on Denali is, "To the Top of Denali" by Sherwonit. Here is a quote, "On the mountian, you have to consciously make yourself eat, drink, and even breathe ... What comes naturally down here, you have to force yourself to do up there. If you don't, you'll never reach the summit."

I think these are good words for both mountian climbing and ministry.
