 True? 

A man gradually formulates his religion, be it what it may.  A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.

Peace, Rae Lakes, above tree line.  Why we go.

I Kings 3:  Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong. For who is able to govern this vast people of yours?”
Romans 8:   Brothers and sisters: We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Matthew 13:   Jesus said to his disciples: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

To forget to celebrate is to forget to imitate the God who created us and then relaxed and said, “That’s good.”

It is the flash of the firefly in the night.
It is the breath of the buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
