Psalm 91:11
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your
ways;


Whether you know it or not, everything -- including your own body -
is in a constant state of change. When you climb the same mountain
again, it will be a totally new experience. The ancient Greek philosopher
HeracIitus said, you cant step into the same river twice. The
water constantly moves down the river and out to sea.

The deep, rugged gorges of the Grand Canyon are the result of the
rushing water of the Colorado river. Even today, its erosion continues to
wash down the river to the Mojave Desert of California. It is changing -
one grain of sand at a time.

Making decisions about specific transformations in your thoughts, your
goals, your attitudes and your habits will be a futile exercise without
making the most important decision of all - deciding to be willing and
open to change.

You may say, i've tried so many times before, but nothing seems to
happen. That's what the mountain climber could have said after
three failed attempts to reach the top of Mount Everest. Instead, he
looked up at the summit and announced, you defeated me once. you defeated
me twice. You defeated me three times. But mountain, I will someday
conquer you, because you cannot get any bigger, and I can.

- Neil Eskelin
