Musings at Altitude

Amazing.

That’s all I can say about today.

About football…because of a game winning drive by a 19 year old true freshman in front of 106,000 screaming fans, most of them screaming for him to fail…and yet he delivered…and a legend is born.

About tennis…because of a match ending tirade by a superstar against a line judge which gave the final point of the match to her opponent who had just recently returned to the game…the tirade from the superstar gave her competitor, a stunned young mother, a spot in the finals of one of the most prestigious tournaments in sports.

About golf…because of a round at 9 under par by the world’s greatest golfer…which made everyone else in the field look pretty ordinary…and gave the rest of us wannabe golfers a thrill as he went from 1 back after 8 holes to 7 up by the time the day ended.

About racing…because one of the most exciting racers on the circuit finished fifth in the race but failed to make the 12 man racing “playoffs” because of a seventh place finish by one of the other drivers he seems to hate the most.

About family…because my father is finally home after 2 weeks in the hospital…and he knew from the beginning he’d be ok because he was in the hands of the master healer and comforter…and sure enough he is ok.

About purpose…because of a blog that reminds us of our purpose and shows so clearly what can happen when we let the passion of our salvation play out in the service that’s expected by our Savior…you too will be amazed.

About restlessness…because in the quiet of these early morning hours (it’s 3:45 am now) I find peace…and though I pay for it the rest of the day, the peaceful moments are precious as I sort through the torrential flow of input and feedback that’s flooding my sensors right now.

I truly am amazed.
