When my parents were Missionaries to Japan, my father clibmed to essentially--the very top of the mountain (Mt. Fujiama). Along the way, the wooden pole given to those who begin the climb, is stamped at certain points at levels climbed. He reached the top! To this day, my father has "the pole" with stamps embedded, bells, and a flag. Now I may finally, better understand--just why he climbed to the very top. I never realized that "Jesus would often go up on the mountains to pray..."! Thank you for sharing and may God bless you while spreading the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIGHT! R. L.
