A man on a white horse

Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we're inclined to do),
I need not a handsome man
But let him be like You;
I do not need one big and strong
Nor yet so very tall,
Nor need he be some genius,
Or wealthy, Lord, at all;
But let his head be high, dear God,
And let his eye be clear,
His shoulders straight, whate'er his state,
Whate'er his earthly sphere;
And let his face have character,
A ruggedness of soul,
And let his whole life show, dear God,
A singleness of goal;
Then when he comes
(As he will come)
With quiet eyes aglow,
I'll understand that he's the man
I prayed for long ago.

-Ruth Bell Graham (collected poems, p. 35)

October {Stone Mountain} trek

So my family and I decided to take a spur of the moment weekend vacation up to Stone Mountain, GA just for the heck of it. So here are some of the moments that made the trip worth it!!

So because everybody knows candy is essential in any kind of exercise, I was preparing my brother and I for the long hike up the mountain. ;) Of course, because we're Voorhees' we can't do anything the way it's supposed to be done (e.g. instead of hiking up the mountain we would dance all the way up!). Another thing, most people enjoy the view at the top of the mountain but we would rather ADD to it by doing fun tricks on the top.
