Today's talk comes from Pastor Ben Stewart.

Well, years ago I spoke at an event at a college that was on the top of a mountain,

lookout mountain, Georgia.

And my wife and I were there, and while we were there at this event,

we found out that that mountain was also a popular

hang gliding spot and so we went over to go see these people jump off a cliff and so we're

watching people with these big hang gliders leap off the cliff and while we're watching them do that somebody tells us you know you can hang glide here as a beginner

We're like no we didn't know that they're like yeah if you drive down the road to the bottom

Someone will take you up and you can try hand gliding.

So we're like, let's do it.

And so we drove to the bottom of this mountain

and sure enough we paid this guy,

and they hook you up with a guide.

And I remember he got us in underneath this hand glider and he put me in kind of this bag and you hold onto the rail and he's holding onto it next to me and we're there on this hang glider sitting on the ground at the base of a mountain and I'm like so how is this going to get in the sky and he was like oh well that guy over there is going to take us up and he points to a guy that's mounting up on essentially a motorcycle that's essentially a motorcycle

that someone had like strapped some metal wings to.

And the guy getting on it, you're like,

this is what you've chosen to do with your life.

I don't understand it's like Bobby's up there

and he's kind of belting into this thing
