All Means All

Scripture Prompt

And whoever means whoever

The mountains in the land provided food, streams, shade, and lumber to the people living in the valleys. Explorers of the heights had told the stories of conquest. But no one had ever climbed one of them — Tangled Mountain — and returned to tell of it. Dangers were up there, including a dangerous tribe.

One missionary decided he would climb Tangled Mountain and convinced a young local to guide him. The young guide had heard of the language spoken atop the mountain and knew some of it. He began to feel excited to lead his first mission.

Not for naught was it named “Tangled”. Machetes were as important as good boots and snake leggings for this climb. Difficulties mixed with humorous happenings laced the adventure of a lifetime. At last, they reached the top and could smell the stench of human poverty and filth.

The guide almost turned back, but the missionary pressed forward with joy. He had found the rumored people group he was seeking, that he knew had to be up there. However, the level of poverty, filth, disarray, and animosity was heartbreaking. Then, as he turned away, he noticed a trail.

Tentatively advancing, the missionary found a small colony. To his amazement, it was the opposite of the first one, beginning with paths between the huts all lined with white rock. No children were left crying in the elements as in the first village. Villagers smiled welcomes.

As they self-introduced, and found themselves the long-awaited promised ones, a crowd around them grew in size and wonder. Led on a tour of the settlement, they eventually entered an empty building with a row of primitive seating and a basket near the front containing small shells and pretty stones.
