Today's forecast on the mountain was to be clear skies and a few degrees warmer. So if that crazy wind finally dropped off, that should be where they are tonight! Please remain prayerful for them and for the weather. While they have all these weather days built in, I'm sure it would be natural to feel just a little discouraged by the minor set back. But knowing these guys, they threw on their packs and headed right back out, ready to face the day.
Chris' mom sent this to me this morning as she found it be so fitting for the day, and I couldn't agree with her more. Since today was the 20th of the month, she chose Psalms 20 for her daily devotional and it really hits the mark..
May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!
May He send you help from the sanctuary and support you from Zion!
May He remember all your meal offerings and find your burnt offering acceptable! Selah.
May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your counsel (*purpose)!
We will sing for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.
Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.
Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God.
They have bowed down and fallen, but we have risen and stood upright.
Save, O LORD; May the King answer us in the day we call.
This is the view of the Kahiltna Glacier from 7200'...
They have to be a little crazy to be doing this, but what a view!
