Kirk is an educator. He’s spent his life training horses, people and the occasional canine. He’s never met a sport or mountain he didn't like. The Lord has blessed Kirk with a positive mind-set and a drive to always give 100%, even in the most difficult of times.
The Lord has also blessed Kirk with an amazing wife who helped him train for his current Denali adventure by hiking with him up a snowy hillside, at ten o'clock at night, in -12 degree temperatures.
Kirk brought home from his trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro (with Brian and his brother) a lesson about how God guides our lives one step at a time and gave me a sense of how we see such a small portion of the journey--and are overwhelmed--while God sees the "whole mountain." It has been my prayer that this journey will bring Kirk and his fellow travelers a new sense of the personal presence of the Lord. Praise God for courage to look in hard places--on purpose.
