A few weeks back we had some guests from the States come to visit the mission here in Chiang Mai. One of the cool things we did together was travel a little south of town to do a canopy zipline tour called "Flight of the Gibbon." (A gibbon is a small apelike animal that lives in the jungle here). Having heard that part of next week's episode of CBS's "Amazing Race" will take place in Thailand and knowing that the contestants from the show also went to this canopy tour for one of their challenges, I wanted to put up a few pictures and videos of my own.
The group after the last zipline traversed and height rappelled
On the final rappel, I got to go down "Spiderman style" with my feet over the rope and hanging upside down!
Flying through the canopy
A perfect landing!
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
They will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not be faint.
- Isaiah 40:28-31 -
