Huck (by Andy Maser, via Adventure Journal).

Beautiful, introspective short film about waterfall kayaking.
I found his comments about kayaking not completely satisfying to be revealing; adventure activities are great, but they ultimately are only a shadow of the true adventure: the pursuit of Christ.

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. Howard Thurman (via sabbatical)

Somehow we realize that great stories are told in conflict, but we are unwilling to embrace the potential greatness of the story we are actually in. We think God is unjust, rather than a master storyteller. Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

I love this prayer at the end of chapter two in “The Pursuit of God”:
“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.”

Lift up thine heart unto God with a meek stirring of love; and mean Himself, and none of His goods. And thereto, look thee loath to think on aught but God Himself. So that nought work in thy wit, nor in thy will, but only God Himself. This is the work of the soul that most pleaseth God. “The Cloud of Unknowing”, quoted in Tozer’s The Pursuit of God
