What does an explorer do?
     An explorer goes where no one else has gone.
     He might take a boat to an island in the middle of the ocean where the water seems to meet the sky. He might creep through jungles thick with trees. He might wade through rivers that splash out of sight. 
     He might see birds of every color or furry creatures that don’t yet have names.
     He explores because he’s curious. He makes discoveries so he can know more.
     That’s what an explorer does.

     What does an explorer do?
     An explorer goes where everything is new.
     She might fly in a rocket past a million stars to a planet where no person has ever been. 
     She might see empty landscapes where streams are made of ice. She might investigate a crater or collect a sample of dusty soil.
     She might discover what it feels like to live without gravity, turning somersaults in the sky while comets whiz by in the background. 
     She explores because there is still so much to learn. She makes discoveries so that we can understand our universe just a little better.
     That’s what an explorer does.

     What do explorers do?
     Explorers reach for new thoughts that help them understand things in new ways.
     They might search through a bookshelf to find the books that tell them that life is so much more than it appears.
     They might read a story about a man who was thrown into a den of lions but proved God was there to protect him. They might marvel at the boy who, because he trusted in God’s power, took down a scary giant with just one stone.
     They might read of kings and shipwrecks, but also of courage and hope and healing, always making discoveries about God.
     They explore because they want to know more about God and His love. They think bigger because there’s so much more truth to find.
     That’s what explorers do.
