Scout's Honor

Adam and I love to watch the show Man Vs Wild with Bear Grylls. We both are somewhat fascinated by him and the more I find out about him the more I am impressed with who he is as a person. One of the things we love seeing is that sometimes in his show he actually gets scared just like a "normal" person but it is how he responds in situations of fear that are amazing. I think there is something to learn from him. It is human to experience fear but we should not let fear paralyze us- but rather give us the energy and focus to get through a situation.
Also, we had read that he was a Christian. From all I have seen and read about him this is a true conviction and he seems to have his priorities straight. I love this.

THEN- I just found out that back in July he became "Chief Scout" of the Boyscouts (the youngest ever). I have never been a part of that association but I have always respected it and the things they teach young boys. He says he is trying to do different visits with the different troops which brings me to my reason for this post..... It is at this moment that I wish I had a son who was in in boyscouts so that POSSIBLY we could get a visit from Mr Bear himself. That would be fun.
