Old Friends

I received an email today from an old friend. Martin was an Instructor and worked on Staff while I attended Tauernhof in July - December of 1999. He was from Austria, and a quiet yet wise man. I remember the way Martin pounced from rock to rock when scrambling was something to watch...his feet seemed so sure...and he never wavered or was uncertain. At one point I commented on this...and his response to me was "Shara, I don't have confidence in my own feet...I have confidence in Jesus, and because of that, my feet are secure." Whether or not Martin ever fell, I have no idea, however that comment has stuck with me for 6 years. I'll never forget Martin's sure feet...and I'll never forget the source of his sure feet.

Anyway, I received an email from him today! He told me they have shortened the Upward Bound program to 4 weeks (from 6) and are looking for more students. So if you're interested, it'll likely be the best experience of your life. I'd recommend it beyond anything.

Chelsea, Martin said to say hello to you! :)

Anyway, back to the ol' grind. Happy June 8th to all.
