		<description>I think what I love about mountaintops is that they are generally so far from industrial areas, busy metro areas, etc.   It&#039;s like you are above the rush and the stress of city life.  The air is cleaner, and if there is a community in the mountains, they are very friendly.  It&#039;s a great experience.</description>

		<description>Oh, I bet you&#039;ve enjoyed the snow skiing here, Robert! Yup, there&#039;s still a grey area, between the white and black areas. Most of the time, we&#039;re living in the grey area, no matter we want like it or not!</description>

		<description>A thought that has often comforted me: you have to go through the valley to get to the next mountaintop.</description>

		<description>Robert,

I have personally only been skiing once, and I don&#039;t have any particular intention of going ever again.

(That said, I did apply for a job at a ski resort, as I have just finished talking about in my most recent post for your project)

Personally, the physical experience of being on top of a mountain reminds me of the sheer power and greatness of god, who created the mountain and the surrounding landscape. 

In addition, whilst it also reminds me of how insignificant that I am compared to the lord and his creations, it also reminds me of how awesome his love is, that we could be so small yet he could care about us so much to send his son to die for our sins.
