ok, I always get this weird, kinda off-tangent inspiration from lessons over the pulpit. For instance, as Pastor Kay Kiong was sharing about Sir Ernest's and his other companions' escape from that impassable mountain impass, I was going "wow! what FUN! WooHOO!" Think maybe I've got death-wish written all over me, or am not really thinking straight in the wee hours of the morning.
One other thought that did come to mind is that would I be willing to descend down into the depths? I think we are made to reach upwards, and many times, we tend to focus on upward mobility. To consider taking a downwards move, is like regression instead of progression. Then again, the ways of the Lord is mysterious*. Sometimes moving back and down IS the way forward. And sometimes we are told to go sledding down 4,000 feet... in the dark... with only a toboggan beneath us... What would you do then?Wiki Entry:
