Once Upon A Tower Once when I was younger I climbed the Eiffel Tower hoping to gain a clearer perspective of my life. On ground level I felt like a man craving adventure, willing to do whatever I must to reach a goal. The higher I climbed the fre'er I felt, but as my view of Paris expanded I felt smaller and smaller. As I approached the top and was now higher than most, I noticed that even though Paris was wide in length and width, the buildings, the cars, and especially the people looked very small, and from that place I felt more connected to the Creater than to those down below. For just a moment, I felt like I was seeing the world through Gods eyes and knowing those things that God knows, almost like I was thinking some of His thoughts, and then my heart knew that it was time for me to go.
