The Creator vs. Created Things
Continuing my pre-hike training by back-packing a 1.2-mile loop around the subdivision to get used to the weight of the pack and build up my 53-year-old legs.
Maybe I can shed some of this body weight as well.
When I began, my mind was already full of the day's madness: Donna's windshield was struck by a flying rock; the den TV was acting up.
As I neared the end of my morning "hike," my mind fast-forwarded to the upcoming Great American Male Expedition on the Appalachian Trail and a prayer began working in my spirit:
Oh God, as we begin this journey through your Creation, we repent of worshipping those things created by man. For those of us who do not know you, may the beauty of your Creation speak to our hearts and reveal your love for us, possibly for the first time. For those of us who know you, may we grow even closer in the knowledge of your love, your beauty, your grace, your very nature ...
Grace and peace ....
