Don’t Leave Your Self Behind
by Bob Hamp | Blog Posts | 3 Comments »A friend of mine tells the story of a group of Gold Miners who hired top notch Indian guides to take them accross the frontier. In a hurry to find their fortune, the men woke early, rode hard and rode late.
On day four of the journey, the Miners woke and prepared to depart. They came out to find their guides, sitting, unprepared around the fire. Try as they might to urge the guides to rise and prepare for departure, the Indian braves would not budge. Finally one of them explained.
“We have been moving so fast, we left our spirits behind.” The elder guide explained. “We must wait here until our spirits catch up to us.”
Stop now, turn around and look behind you. Do you need to stop and wait?

Alan Smith,
Website:That’s what we did today, Bob, sat in the park and let our souls catch up with us. Felt very good. And your post before this was a great help to me…distinguishing what is real…the mountains, or civilization…reminds me of when you were young and took off for Canada camping saying “had to figure out the difference between what God wanted you to do and what the church wanted you to do.
