Mount Everest is sudden blinding snow. Temperatures are hovering
below zero. In two hours, Dan Mazur would be at the summit realizing a
lifelong dream. He sees a flash of color; a person perched on a
razor-edged rock.
“What’s your name?” he shouts.
“Lincoln Hall,” was the reply.
Earlier he’d heard the announcement, “Lincoln Hall is dead on the mountain.”
Dan was face to face with a miracle. He was also face to face with a
choice! Descending a mountain has profound risks. How long would
Lincoln live anyway? He had to choose. Abandon his dream or abandon
Lincoln Hall.
We make defining decisions every day. Not on Everest, but with
spouses, children, at work, in school, in churches. Jesus tells us to “honor others above ourselves.” Give more than requested. Do more than demanded.
The sweetest satisfaction lies not in climbing your own Everest, but in helping others climb theirs!
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor. Romans 12:10″
Nothing beats a good run! I’ve been running for over 30 years, and somehow I enjoy it more with every mile. Marathon days are behind me now, but I’m incredibly proud to have completed 14 marathons over the years. These days, my goals have shifted, and I’ve really enjoyed running one half marathon each month — woot! Running 3–4 times a week feels just right. Most importantly, spending time with my wife and my girls, Juliana (16) and Jessa (14), is my greatest priority these days. GR8FL!
