“ Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment,” 1Tim.6
I am fascinated by the desire that some people have to risk life and limb by walking on the edge. There are many edges in life. I confess that I have from time to time given into the adrenalin rush of easing over to the edge of a canyon. But when I review such actions I find little wisdom in them. Don't get me wrong, I love hiking up mountain slopes, rock climbing and rappelling into canyons but I do not want to be a thrill seeker. Let me learn the fine line of contentment and the pure enjoyment that comes from an adventure. Perhaps the key lies in me not outside me. When I am content, everywhere is an adventure; descending into a canyon is just another one. One person enters a canyon wanting to find happiness, another enters the same canyon because the happiness inside them naturally overflows into every activity. I am still very much in school on this one. 8/3/2011 Conversations Within ts (Zion National Park)
