"the sovereign Lord is my strength
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer
he enables me to go on the heights" - habakkuk 3:19
i climbed a 61m tall tree today (that's almost 20 stories high)...it was scary, that goes without saying. i was climbing without any wire harness or safety net, so it was really just me against the wind, and that's obviously not a very fair match. the view at the top was simply gorgeous, though, i could see for miles around and the land just kept on going and going, to think that's only a dot in the expanse of God's kingdom. coming down the tree was more of an ordeal than going up, i just kept thinking...the fast way down is to jump...but not being suicidal, i took the long way down and it was a relief to see my family waiting below grow larger as they drew nearer. it was certainly an experience, now i can say i've climbed a tree that's 40 times my height!
