On Monday and Tuesday, after the conclusion of last week’s amazing Fire Conference and crusade, Rebekah and I decided to take a couple of days and visit mainland China as tourists (for once). Our first stop was the Great Wall of China. When our tour guide saw Rebekah, realizing that she was pregnant, she suggested that Rebekah stay down at the bottom and admire the wall from a distance. “It is too dangerous,” she said, “for a pregnant woman to climb the wall.” But Rebekah decided that she was not content to merely look at the wall, she wanted to conquer it. So up we went. If it was up to me, I think I would call the “Great Wall” the “Great Stairway.” The section that we climbed which leads to the highest point was a seemingly endless staircase. Each time we reached a summit that we was “sure” was the end, we would be greeted by yet another section of wall/stairs winding into the horizon and out of sight. Everyone passing us had a chuckle at Rebekah and her baby bump, but we kept on climbing. Once we reached the top we were rewarded with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and a wide panorama of the expanse of the huge wall (which is about 4,000 miles long in total!)
