The Hill

Hills are killers; at least the uphill climbs. On a recent bike ride my mind was filled with thoughts of the hill at the end of the ride, endless pavement stretching to the sky. When it came time to face it for real, three things pulled me through. I was riding with a friend, I put my head down and focused on the road directly in front of me rather than the hill ahead, and I just kept pedaling.

This week I have spent alot of time at hospitals. There are a number of people facing a hill, an almost insurmountable challenge. Maybe you are too. A few lessons from my ride may help you: make the journey with someone (that is what the church is all about), focus on what is at hand, and just keep pedaling!

Most of all, remember the Lord is a way maker and a mountain mover!
