Feelin’ lucky while wandering across the web…
+ Dean Potter is a wiry 6′5″ and 180 pounds-and is one of the world’s best, most daring climbers. After becoming the first person to free climb both El Capitan and Half Dome in Yosemite, meaning he used only ropes, climbing only his hands and his feetnto climb for a vertical mile. Since he has been working on a new technique combining highlining and BASE-jumping. His latest climb is even terrifying to think about. Interesting quote: “When there’s a death consequence, when you are doing things that if you mess up you die, I like the way it causes my senses to peak. I can see more clearly. You can think much faster. You hear at a different level. Your foot contact on the line is accentuated. Your sense of balance is heightened. I don’t seem to feel that very often meditating.” Now take that and apply it to living our days with eternal urgency, constantly aware that our witness is a life or death matter for the people we encounter. It might caue our spiritual senses to peak, help us see more clearly and hear people at a different level. It might change us.
+ “Drop & give me twenty!” The push-up is the perfect exercise-and a measure of physical fitness. Yikes.
+ A timely and sobering wake-up call about the impact on children who have television sets in their bed rooms. It effects them physically, intellectually-and spiritually.
+ Check out Commission Stories. It’s a way to get up close and personal with our International Mission Board missionaries, to hear and see the stories of reaching people all over the world. It will stir you to pray for unreached peoples in ways you never dreamed.
+ OK-fill out your NCAA bracket here. Here’s hoping that UK-Marquette is not a repeat of the past time (where Dwayne Wade became a star).
