MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB

This is the 50th anniversary of the Sir Edmund Hilary's trek to the top of Mt. Everest. Now it seems like everybody and their Sherpa is doing it. What compels these folks to attempt such a feat?

Last night our church Deacons talked about trying to accommodate the wishes of a church member who has become irritated by some of our church traditions. Some of what she is upset about are things that I think make our church special, so it's a difficult dance. I hope we can find a way to be understanding.

I guess some folks just need to climb mountains, even if they're of their own making.
