"Prompt: Are you comfortable with what you understand to be God's guidelines and laws for living?"

Does it really matter? If I am comfortable or not does not change the fact that it is still God's Law. By His very nature my opinion does not count. I am not comfortable with the fact that untold numbers of people will burn in hell forever either. I don't comprehend how a loving God could do that. On the other hand it is not for me to understand. It is God's judgment call. His thoughts are higher than my thoughts and his understanding is way above mine. On my clearest, most coherent days my thoughts do not even approach god's understanding and thinking. So I don't question God. I just do my best to obey Him.

Tell us about heights and mountains.

I don't do good with heights. I have a form of vertigo and when I am up high I freeze up. My brothers and I were on a roof once and I had an anxiety attack because I felt like I was falling. It took my brothers twenty minutes to talk me down off of the roof. It was three stories high and I have not climbed since. I see no need in climbing. On the other hand, I absolutely love flying. I was part of the flight crew with the Parkersburg Composite Squadron, West Virginia Wing, Unites States Air Force Auxiliary, in Parkersburg WV. I was a scanner and and observer. I flew the right seat on most missions and operated the search equipment and communications as well as navigation. I was the crew chief, although the pilot was the captain of the aircraft itself. I loved that job. When I was onboard I always felt free and the sights were beautiful. I also looked very dapper in my flight suit and aviator glasses. A lot of people told me I resembled Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Like him I wore a uniform with a jumpsuit over top of it, my lieutenant bars shining on my shoulders, an air force officer's "C" cap, flight boots, and topped it all off with a pair of Air Force regulation aviator sunglasses. My wife always told me she wanted to stuff me and keep me preserved that way. I was always a big hit with the ladies when i was in uniform. One time I wore my uniform to a costume party for Halloween. I won $1,000.00!
Anyway, heights and I have an odd relationship. I don't do mountaintops or rooftops and the big cities make me dizzy looking at skyscrapers, yet I always loved being between angels four-five and angels three seven zero (4,500 feet and 37,000 feet) strapped to the co-pilot's seat. Go figure? I think it was because I have anxiety disorder and the first time I had a panic attack was when my brothers and I were working on the roof. Then my mind sort of associated the attack with rooftops and ladders and I have had a phobia ever since.
