Yes, it's that time of the year when our men gather round and plan their hike. I know some of my men peek at my blog now and then... okay, so maybe I drag them to the computer and make them read my posts. But just in case anyone else is getting ready for that hike of a lifetime... here's how to Improve Your Technique!

Scripture Mamasita mentioned...
I just had to copy and paste the scripture that Mamasita mentioned in my previous post's comment area... goes along with my heroes theme beautifully! I want to be one of these who are in white robes!
Revelation 7:13-17 (King James Version)
13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

More thoughts on Heroes
I found an article in the World Magazine this past week where they asked readers to send in their favorite last lines from books they had read. One of the entries struck a chord with me and I can't get it off my mind! It's from Stephen E. Ambrose's book "Band of Brothers". It ends like this:
"'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?'
'No,' I answered, 'but I served in a company of heroes.'" -- Sgt. Mike Ranney, East Company 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR
I myself am not a hero in any sense of the word... but I know I serve the Great God of Heaven with a company of heroes--my dear brethren!

Evidence of Grandchildren in your life
1. the potty seat in your bathroom even though the last of your children have been potty trained for over 15 years
2. that special toy that is sitting on your end table that someone special let you "borrow"
3. all action stopping when you hear the words, "Grammy..."
4. special treats in small baggies in your cupboards waiting to be given away
5. tiny gardening gloves and boots outside your back door
6. an itty bitty pool in your backyard waiting to be filled with warm water
7. a growing basket of books for special storytimes
8. a heart so full of love that you never thought could hold more!
9. an inclination to get on your knees more often that God's mercy will be to your little ones too.
