This morning Stuart is going to climb it with a bunch of (much younger ) fellows from church. [Photos to follow.]
The last time he did this was over 15 years ago when he used to challenge sailors from the British Royal Navy to get to the top with him. Not all of them made it! Maybe he won't make it this time either. At just over 800 ft it's reputed to be one of the most difficult climbs around Rio with many challenges after a pleasant stroll through what's left of the Atlantic Forest.
Some people go looking for excitement and others are content with a quieter, more peaceful way of life. This is one of the wonderful thing about the way God created us. We are all individuals with free will and He has a plan and purpose for each one of us and gives us gifts to enable us to live life to the full. Sometimes this requires a certain amount of perseverance.
I wonder what you are doing with your life and if you feel fulfilled. As many of you may recall, I have been an online mentor for over 18 months now. I really enjoy it and find it challenges me to persevere. Last week I reached and surpassed the 500 mark. The site is called Power to Change and is well worth looking at. The sister site that deals with the mentoring side is http://www.truthmedia.com/ . Both these sites come under the umbrella of Campus Crusade for Christ. This organisation is always looking for people who can volunteer time to do outreach online. Besides desperately needing more mentors, they also require writers, script writers, authors, web designers and chat room mentors, just to mention a few. Some are paid positions, others are volunteer opportunities but they all have one aim, to point people to Christ.
Have you looked at Daily Encouragement.net ? Today they are starting a 40 day Bible reading plan, maybe you would like to follow it too. This is their link again. http://www.dailyencouragement.net/
