"Though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again." As M. Dunham wrote, "Sir Edmund Hilary was the first person to conquer Mt. Everest. The first time he tried, he failed. He was knighted by the Queen of England, and at the gala occasion, on the wall behind the head table, was a huge picture of Mt. Everest. The people gave him a standing ovation for even daring to attempt the climb. When they ceased applauding, Hilary turned his back to the audience, faced that picture and said, "Mt. Everest, you have defeated me once and you might defeat me again. But I'm coming back again and again, and I'm going to win because you can't get any bigger, Mt. Everest, and I can."* Great attitude! What a difference it would make if we felt the same when we face the mountains in our lives. The reality of life is that we learn more through our failures than we do through our successes. Successes are satisfying and they are important to keep us encouraged. Howev
