June 26th to June 29th
Been resting like the doctor ordered. The steroids are doing their job an the swelling has gone down significantly. Bender and Reef made it into town, was great seeing those guys again there humor has been sorely missed. Just been eating great food trying to put on weight for the trail. Everyone is friendly to hikers around here I've noticed. Got a ride into a nearby town and saw the movie Prometheus. Very excited I got to finally see that movie. Got all the supplies I need to continue my journey tomorrow, I'm ready to cruise.

How Great Thou Art (Second Stanza)
ReplyDeleteWhen through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze; Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

ReplyDeleteAn invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.

As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens. ~Stephen Graham
ReplyDeleteAnthony, I know that this verse sounds awsome when you look at the great mountains surrounding you, but it's through faith.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 17:20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars. ~Author unknown, commonly attributed to Martin Luther
ReplyDeleteMan's heart away from nature becomes hard. ~Standing Bear
ReplyDeleteI love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver
