I'm not a mountain climber, but I respect the sport. Mountain climbing takes several discipline. It takes guts, strength, heart, vision, faith, knowledge and a whole lotta risk.
Life.... That's what I am climbing. It takes guts, strength, heart, vision, faith, knowledge, and a whole lotta risk.
To get to the peak is one thing.... getting there is another.
the first grip a smile
the second grip a giggle
the third.... a point of no return
the forth... wondering, "what in the heck am i doing" while smiling
a slip
grip again
faith
heart
guts
the top? sure... but the journey is what its all about.
Whats next?
Another mountain.... one grip at a time.

CAN DESTINY HAPPEN IN A VACUUM?
This is a repost, what do ya think?
Remember the story of Macbeth? He tried to change his own destiny only to see the "prophesies" about him come true. To make a long story short he tried to avoid his foretold death only to be beheaded as his "fate".
Question: Can destiny happen in a vacuum?
I was talking to a coupe of co-workers on my break today and asked them this question. I posed the question in the form of what I call, "Plinko in a sealed room' Go with me on this.......
Remember the game 'Plinko" on the game show "The Price Is Right "? The game was all about the luck of the way a large poker looking chip would be dropped along the top of strategically placed pegs. When a person would drop the chip down the plinko board it would bounce along the pegs, and if "luck" was on their side it could land in the 10,000 money slot.
When the chip would land in a large money slot, the contestant would try from the very same spot with different results only to befrustrated.
Why?
I have been told that if you try the same thing you will get the same results. tell the contestant that. Maybe it is the atmosphere of the room. Maybe its the air coming from the vents blowing it. Maybe it is the rumble of the audience cheering vibrating it in a different direction. Maybe.
So, lets change the atmosphere.
A vacuumed room - sealed tight - plinko - a machine that is programed to drop the chip at the same place with the pegs, board, and all aspects with NO variables to change it.
Can destiny be changed in a vacuum? A sealed off room?
My co-workers said No. I asked, why? they said because its impossible to create that atmosphere.
Hmmmm.
As is life. THERE IS NOT A "ONE FORMULA" that can work EVERY TIME... Enter, the Cross. Jesus. The Messiah. YHWH. GOD. (Some "American Christian's" have their view of a long blond hair and bright blue eyes - I am not talking about him, I am referring to the one from historical scripture with out an American interpretation.
He (Jesus) said, "I am the (Only) way, the (only) truth the (Only) Life"
That, is destiny.
That IS a cure all.
So, from the moment we accept Christ, does our destiny begin? Free will VS. Unconditional Election.
Macbeth. Was that "supposed" to happened? Could it have changed?
Judas (who betrayed Jesus), was that "Supposed" to happened? Could it have been changed?
The plinko chip. In a sealed environment - could it fall in the same place every time?
Me and You, In a sealed environment - does that effect us?
Or, does God drop us on earth like plinko chips (with a Bible) and say "I'll see you on the other side."
What do you think?
