HTH: Mountaintop Experiences are for the Birds

Charlotte Getz May 7, 2018

Check out this wonderful article from Connor Gwin over on Mockingbird.

“It doesn’t take long after a mountaintop experience to realize you are deep in the “valley” again. The wisdom of mountaintop experiences is to realize that Jesus is in the valley with you. The power of a “thin place” is the acceptance that everywhere is a “thin place” because in Christ God is with us here and now. The place of the disciple of Christ is where Christ is: in the middle of the monotony and mess of everyday human life.”

Hope This Helps (HTH)
