Worship

“The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands! Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where briers grew, myrtles will sprout up. This miracle will bring great honor to the LORD's name; it will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”

It’s not difficult to be in a state of worship when all around me are clear indications of God’s creation and his handiwork! I can see where Isaiah got those words – now more clearly than ever! It’s truly difficult to imagine the scope of the sights that I'm seeing! Words fall far short of what I see! And once again, so do photographs. My eyes cannot fully comprehend the distances I am seeing; they are incapable of taking in the vastness of the vistas in front of me!

Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Glenn Canyon, Natural Bridge National Parks all have unique and inexpressible beauty! Each have a magnificence of their own. To say one is better than another is to make one less impressive or important than the other – and yet all have such tremendous majesty that it would be a travesty to try to rank them! Not only are the parks themselves beautiful, so are the sights between them! One of today’s most remarkable experiences was dropping 1,100 feet in only 3 miles! When we came to the first corner, seeing a sign read “5 mph” we thought that must have been a mistake! But then, upon reaching that corner, it became very apparent why we needed to go that slow! Were anyone to miss that turn, it would be a 1,100 foot free-fall to certain death! The drop-off was incredible! Once again, pictures cannot show the extraordinary view I got from that mountain. Nor can they get close to giving you that uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach!
