I Love Google Earth

This morning while passing the time as I wait for a pool hearing just before lunch I stumbled across yet another feature on Google Earth. In the layers section is a check box to identify mountains. I enabled that feature and started looking at some mountains around the valley. Not all of them are correctly placed but I got looking at Timpanogos, Mount Mahogany and Box Elder Peak. I've never climbed to the summit of any of these. In fact I think the only mountain I've never conquered was Lake Mountain as a child at our ward Father and Sons campout. I remember asking my dad as a kid why God created the mountains and he said it was so that we could climb them. I've been in the mountains quite a bit but have not taken full advantage of climbing these wonders that are such an attraction for all of us who would otherwise consider moving somewhere else (i.e. a big ol' farm in Missouri) Well, if I'm going to stay in this bloated market because of the mountains I'd better well use them, right? I want to climb some of these peaks and start enjoying God's creations in a more intimate way than speeding through Daniel's Summit at 65 mph. When I can resolve to slow down my life and enjoy the simpler things of life then that's what I'm going to do.
