Facing Mountains
In 1803, Thomas Jefferson commissioned his secretary Meriweather Lewis to blaze a trail across the West. I’m not sure I’d have chosen a guy named is “Merry Weather”?

But when you read their journals, you realize they nearly died crossing the Rocky Mountains. At one point, they were so starved, their party ate 20 lbs of candles.
This morning I wonder what mountains you’re facing?

But Jesus tells His disciples that every mountain is moveable.
Does that sound crazy? A moveable mountain?
