Quick Summary:

A journal entry found in an alpine hut, describing a snowshoe rescue experience during a winter blizzard reveals something about the nature of God's accompaniment with us.

"Mountains are fickle places. One moment it’s clear and bright, and the views are endless. And another, all visibility is gone.

Mountains are dangerous places. The experience of those two trekkers is a prime, though by no means unique, example of the trouble you can get into.

But mountains are also sacred places. Places where, under the right conditions, we experience the holy presence and awesome mystery of One whose glory is so far beyond us that we cannot conceive of it, much less grasp it… Yet who, in coming alongside us, makes himself known in ways that give us life and hope."
