Get badly hurt once, on a remote moutainside during a blizzard, and then talk to me about God.

Because what I experienced was like nothing in books.

And I'm ok with that. A guy that can read hebrew and latin (greek? not so well).

But I'm just a cook that happened to catch a bad throw on a rock shelf at 7000 ft during a full moon in the middle of a blizzard.

Cold sucks. Did I mention that?

LOL!

Cold definitely sucks. Hunger and thirst and pain too. Abandonment, humiliation, maybe worse. Our Savior knew this more than we ever will.

Yes, you’re likely right, we meet God much closer in these moments. But also, I hope, in moments of joy in just being alive.

thanks for your reply.
