I took my grandsons and a neighbor's boy (ages 8, 9, & 12) to my cousins ranch North of Canon City CO today. I wanted my grandsons to see where their Great, Great, Great Grandfather had homesteaded. The place has been in our family over 100 years. We climbed about 1500 feet in elevation over a couple of miles. The way was rocky and rough in places. The boys were willing to turn back or quit a few times, but I gave them the opportunity to just wait until I returned and they chose to stay with me all the way to the top of Little Sheep Mountain. They were well pleased with their accomplishment and really enjoyed the view for 15 minutes before the descent. Back at the bottom, I showed them the place where we had been and asked them "If I had asked you before we left if you wanted to climb that mountain, would you have? Durham's reply was "No way, cause I didn't think I could. I told them that life was that way. If we just follow the Lord one day at a time, there will be times we want to quit or go back, but if we'll just keep going, He'll take us to heights we never thought possible. When I told my wife this story, she said "so, is that your good Sunday mornin tomorrow? It's different than what I had planned, but it seemed like a good one at that, so there you have it--Have yourselves a good Sunday mornin, and a good rest of the week.
