W is for What?

What do I believe?

I was thinking about this question the other day.  

When I was about 20 I had a lot of beliefs, or opinions, on things. Over the past few years, a lot of those beliefs have left me. Strange, but I don’t miss them at all.

Here is a belief I have gained.

Prayer is a gift from God.

I don’t think I can truly pray to God unless he gives me words to speak. Without the working of the Holy Spirit in me, I could not pray. I could not ask Him for anything; I could not praise Him for anything; I could not cry to Him in my distress; I could not talk with Him.

There are times when I can pray, and there are times when I cannot. I have noticed that those times I can pray are the times when I have a faith and trust in God. When I have no faith, I cannot pray.

I believe prayer comes from faith, which is a gift of God.

“My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” Psalm 45

What do you think?

V is for Very much out of ideas

So I’ll just post this video.

U is for Unique

T is for Tooth

One of life’s minor adventures.

S is for Standing

My sister got married the other day. To be a groomsman, all you need to know is how to stand still for a while.

R is for Rock Climbing

Here is a video of our rock climbing adventure at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in northwestern Arkansas.

Q is for Quick

Quick Draw

Quick Shoot

P is for Prayer

I am weak my Lord, keep me strong
I am weak my Lord, keep me strong
You have brought me down the valley
I have nothing to drink, Lord
Keep me strong

I am weak my Lord, keep me strong
I am weak my Lord, keep me strong
You have taken all my food
I have no bite to eat, Lord
Keep me strong

I am weak my Lord, keep me strong
I am weak my Lord, keep me strong
You have given me no rest
I have been wide awake, Lord
Keep me strong

O is for Ouch!

Normally, falling when rock climbing is a lot of fun. This one looks like it hurt.

N is for Never let go of your ice axe

Earlier this month, Eric Van Vleet and I had a little fun on St. Mary’s Glacier in Colorado. You can witness our pitiful attempts at self arresting.
