They All Involve Hills

Body

Doug Wilson: “Dear Pastor, you now have a limited number of options before you, and they all involve hills … If you know that you will fight, but only when it become absolutely necessary, then they will pick the terrain and you will be found defending Stupid Hill. Or you can resist now, and you select the terrain, and you can defend Shrewd Hill. Or you can go hide in those hills.”
