ponder as you wander...

One day, a woman was hiking along a cliff. pretty stupid. She falls-but after tumbling and scraping down the hill, she manages to grab on to a branch. Dusk turns into night, and all the while she clings to this branch with everything she has. After hours of pressing her body into the rock face, cramping to keep meager toeholds, her strength begins to fail and her arms begin to shake. Fearing that she doesn't have much longer, she begins to pray. God's response is simple: "Let go." Feeling low on faith and high on frustration, she ignores the command and cries and aches until the first rays of dawn. And then, astonishing though it may seem, she looks down and sees the ground...about 12 inches below her feet.


i just read that story in a magazine and completely could identify with it. thought some of y'all might could too?


in other news-i'm missing hearing robert earl as we speak. i only hope that my bubs went out to support him san diego style. i've been especially thinking about him today because i taught 4th grade and just about everyone of those boys reminded me of a little "TOM AMES" in the making. i'm gonna leave you with another pic of the other night...because a post without a pic is a boring post indeed.
