Climbing Your Mountain!

Shelbyville Goat Tower
"Goats love it and people driving by can't believe it," says David Johnson of Findlay, Ill., about his 31-ft. tall, 7-ft. dia. "goat tower" built with the help of the late Jack Cloe, Herrick, Ill. The tower was constructed with 5,000 hand-made bricks, each one a different size and shape. The tower has 276 concrete steps, arranged to form a spiral staircase, that allows Johnson's goats to climb up and down with ease.
Johnson has 34 Saanen milk goats that use the tower. "Goats are the most curious animals in the world so they use the tower a lot. They come and go, passing each other on the ramp as needed." The tower has six floors made from poured concrete, with three openings on each side. The tower sets on a 10-ft. sq. concrete block set 6 ft. deep in the ground.
This is a very unique thing made just for his goats because he knows they like to climb. God gives us everything we need to grow in Him. He knows what we enjoy and what is best for us. A True Christian will Trust Him for all their needs. He knows where you should live. He knows what kind of work that is best for your knowledge and personality. He wants you to flourish. Will you Honor Him with your Praise and Worship? Will you surrender your will for His? He is Worth giving your heart, mind, soul, body and spirit! Let Him raise you up to be the best witness you can be for His Kingdom!
