I
then raised the question, What about
going to the bathroom? This led to
an interesting conversation about grizzly country and whether one should go potty
alone in the wilderness. (I’ll leave you
to your imagination on that one.)
I
just spent the weekend before with a man who sported scars from a grizzly
mauling injury to his leg. Why wouldn’t
I want my 15-year-old to spend the weekend in the woods?
So
I went to the store and bought him freeze-dried food and Off. Helped him attach his backpack to the pack
frame. Made sure he had a water bottle
and the bear spray. Loaded him up and
dropped him off with the other guys at church.
Because
kids need to live, and living isn’t safe.
Jesus
knew it when he prayed for us. “My
prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them
from the evil one.” (John 17:15 NIV)
Prayed
for but not sheltered.
Are
you trying to live too safely?
