THE EIGER

As I write these words I am watching on TV the movie, "The Eiger Sanction." Clint Eastwood plays an ex-assassin art professor who must kill an enemy agent during a climb of Mt. Eiger in Switzerland.

Almost three years ago Cissy and I spent a week in the Swiss Alps. We stayed in Wengen, just below the Eiger. It was one of the most exciting and beautiful weeks of our lives. We were intent on "making a memory."

A few weeks later Cissy had several surgeries at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, for a malignant brain tumor. At the time we had no certainty of what would be the outcome of the surgery.

God has been most gracious as Cissy made a wonderful recovery. We look forward to many more adventures. Click on the arrow below the video to see our view at the base of Eiger.
