When all is dark and quiet here....


...the lesser light pokes through and illuminates this glorious expanse!!!

There is nothing like a beautiful cloud display...

....over the vast expanse of the Grand Canyon.  It takes my breath away because it will always be a little bit different!!!

He peeks through the clouds...


...to remind us of His presence!!!

Mr. Charlie Elk dines alone after....

....I told him that I do not date guys with antlers!!!

Meant for Enjoyment


I think that God created places like this just for the sheer pleasure of watching us enjoy them.  Then, He can remind us by saying, "Yep, I did that just for you!!!"

Achieving a goal...

....is finishing well!!!  After hearing about the beauty of this particular waterfall, my goal this trip was to hike to it no matter how long or difficult.  I would not be deterred.  I knew that what lay in store was worth the tedious effort it would take to get there.  "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?  Run in such a way as to get the prize.  Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.  They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.  Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air.  No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize (I Corinthians 9:24-27)."  Do you want to finish well?

Dolphins do exist....

 ....at the bottom of the Canyon---hahaha!!!!
