“I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news.”
— John Muir, quoted in Samuel Hall Young‘s Alaska Days with John Muir

Adventure Time. Found a wooden tower in the middle of the forest, of course couldn't leave without climbing up and enjoying the view. What would life be without a little adventure... 😅

Dear videogame devs, designers, artists, coders, and others who make them happen - thank you for making such enjoyable experiences to us but COULD YOU PLEASE LIMIT THE HIGH PLACES A LITTLE?!?! I Am Looking At You ELDEN RING!!
I need to ask my partner constantly to play the spots that get entirely too high because every other location seems to be built like a rollercoaster without safety features so my phobia kicks in.
It's like every game company has suddenly decided that the only way to add excitement is adding towers to climb and ladders pracerious ledges to drop off from? I don't remember having this many god-awful mountaing hanging experiences in games before??
I can't be alone with this intense phobia so, game people - can you maybe find a way not to have so many of these places? Or maybe way to ease the visibility of endless pits from satans anus?
Any workaround you can come up with would be greatly welcome.
Also - stop with the fucking brigh white screens right after black screen. People with migrained exist.
Thank you.
I eagerly await the day when I don't nearly pass out every time you decide to have some unholy bridge system made of stone/trees/flimsy ass whispers of ropes. <3

From the High Place
“…But you accepted what we said as the very Word of God—which, of course, it was—and it changed your lives when you believed it.” 1Thessalonians 2:13TLB
We are in an age of technology. As never before, you can watch anything from the glories of God to the depravity of porn, all on the internet and tele-a-vision. Our choices are major factors in our thought processes either bringing us out into freedom or into slavery, chains of addictions.
Years ago, a salesman came to our house selling a heavy, upright vacuum cleaner. Lou submitted to the sales pitch, while I was gone. We ended up in debt with 24% interest. I hated that vacuum. Mom and Dad had bought that albatross years before. Afterwards, I begged Lou to never buy from a salesman without me.
Several years later, I came home. Lou says, ‘here, you have to look at these. A vacuum salesman was here. I went upstairs and vacuumed the mattress. Look what the vacuum got out of our mattress. These are from the carpet, right there.” Bless God! Lou didn’t sign on any dotted line. Although he’d entertained the salesman, he’d pushed him out the door. Submission wasn’t made.
Satan is like the vacuum salesman. He comes to the door trying to sell us evil through our eye-gates or ear-gates, coming right into our homes via the internet or tele-a-vision. Knocking on the windows of our mind for attention, being rude doesn’t work. What works?
***First, don’t open the door to satan in the first place. One glimpse of porn can last in the mind’s eye for days, to be brought up for instant recall at anytime. Be like Job 31:1TLB “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust upon a girl.”
***Second, If you’ve opened the door, accidentally— repent for looking at or hearing whatever. 1John 1:9NASB “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Researching disposal of bat poo, I wondered in total depravity once.
***Third, believe the gospel. You’re a new person! 2Corinthians 5:17NASB “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”  Ask Holy Spirit’s help. We don’t have to surrender to the old pulls, they’re zombies trying to act alive.
***Fourth and last, when satan comes with his bad ideas, close the door and windows with praise to God. Worship runs off the enemy of our souls.
Where we would be, if Adam had exercised his authority over satan in Eden. Jesus gave us the same position Adam had with the choice to choose good or evil. Instead of fighting the fight of faith from a defensive place— REALIZE THE BATTLE HAS ALREADY BEEN WON! FIGHT FROM THE HIGH PLACE OF VICTORY! Exercise the authority we have been given over satan through Christ’s victory on the cross. We’ve already won. As a winner, we have a continual position of victory.
There’s a choice to believe the lies, keeping the victim mentality, never getting a win, always paying a debt no longer owed. Is that the life you want? It’s your choice. You choose.
PRAYER: Papa God, thank You for a position of victory won for us by Jesus on the cross. Help us live in the high place, not subservient to satan. Changed forever, because we believe in what happened upon the cross, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.
Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

Garth Brooks Isn't Alone: Maybe YOU Have Friends in Low (or High!) Places
The Low-Down on High Places In the ancient Middle East, there were worship centers called “high places”, where all kinds of pagan ritualistic mischief took place. They show up in Joshua and Judges with regularity, and there is a lot about them you probably have never thought about. The key word here is “pagan”, and it’s safe to say that it is probably hard for the average person reading this…

Scripture of the Day - April 1, 2024 Solomon, Son of David—Third King in Ancient Israel From the Bible’s MKJV: Part 1 of a Series
2nd Chronicles 1:1-13 - AND SOLOMON THE SON OF DAVID WAS MADE STRONG IN HIS KINGDOM, AND JEHOVAH HIS GOD WAS WITH HIM AND MADE HIM VERY GREAT. 
And Solomon spoke to all Israel: to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. And Solomon and all the congregation with him went to the high place at Gibeon. For there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness. But the ark of God—David had brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 
And he put the bronze altar which Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made before the tabernacle of Jehovah. And Solomon and the congregation of Jehovah sought to it. 
And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Jehovah—which was at the tabernacle of the congregation—and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. 
SOLOMON’S PRAYER and JEHOVAH’S ANSWER:
In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.”   And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me to reign in his stead. Now, O Jehovah God, Your promise to David my father has been fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 
Give me now wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people. For who can judge this Your great people?”   And God said to Solomon, “BECAUSE this was in your heart, and you have NOT asked riches, wealth, nor honor, NOR the life of your enemies, nor yet have asked for long life; BUT HAVE ASKED wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may judge My people, over whom I have made you king: Wisdom and knowledge is granted to you.
And I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”   And Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.

“How to Live. What to Do” — Wallace Stevens
Last evening the moon rose above this rock Impure upon a world unpurged. The man and his companion stopped To rest before the heroic height.
Coldly the wind fell upon them In many majesties of sound: They that had left the flame-freaked sun To seek a sun of fuller fire.
Instead there was this tufted rock Massively rising high and bare Beyond all trees, the ridges thrown Like giant arms among the clouds.
There was neither voice nor crested image, No chorister, nor priest. There was Only the great height of the rock And the two of them standing still to rest.
There was the cold wind and the sound It made, away from the muck of the land That they had left, heroic sound Joyous and jubilant and sure.
