casinos and hooters

How long can a society exist with a main focus upon casinos and Hooters? I do not believe the essesnce of life is to identify and then consume the correct light beer. I do not belive the goal in life is to have sex with as many differnt parteners as possible, or even to have sex, for that matter. Real lives need a deeper refrence point. Honest living require a renewal of hope. I only find these needed things in unexpected places, like companionship, prayer and silence. How about you?

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.
