In a way it is all about perspective. I get to look at Longs Peak and the rockies every day (In fact, Arvada was my congergation growing up), but when I think about sitting on a shore looking at the ocean is where I see God’s power and majesty. I must sadly say there are days when I probably don’t even look west because I’m too “busy”. Maybe I should more often.

Response to Tim…Meatloaf was a former LCU student.
A true Lubbockite would know the answer to that question.

Meatloaf looked sickly to me.

I have been to the Rockies one time and can not wait to go back. It is truly one of the greatest experiences you can encounter in our country. I live in the Ozark Mts. here in Arkansas and it to is amazing. But the size of those Rockies is so majestic, it is like you are looking at a painting. God is so Awesome!

Any chance you could move those meetings to Guadalajara?

Speaking of which… saw the finale of American Idol. Wow!

Pretty good, but raised two questions. 1. What is more uncomfortable that watching Taylor dance? Answer: Watching David Hasselhoff cry. (Anyone else see that?) 2. Does anyone know which performer was a former LCU student?

You don’t have to go to Rocky Mountain National Park to find God………but you can sure find Him there!

I’m kind of a sit-at-the bottom-and-look-up-at God’s-creations-girl myself. But then you probably knew that.

I’m not a big hiker (altitude sickness two days in a row the one time I tried) but I am thankful for those who are. I do enjoy sitting and enjoying the amazing creation that God knit together for our pleasure. I’m really trying hard to do that more often.

When I was 15 I was climbing up Longs Peak. Above the timber line there was a narrow path that had a severe drop on the left side. I started getting dizzy. Luckily, there was this beautiful girl in her early twenties who came along side me and helped me walk the narrow path. I made it several times after that on my own, however, my most enjoyable hike was when I had someone by my side.:)

Rocky Mountain Park is beautiful. Having lived my teen years in Colorado and vacationed many other years I have seen many of the beautiful areas there. I didn’t realize how much I missed the mountains until visiting Garmish and Birkesgaden here (Germany) and living in Switzerland awhile.
I am planning to be back to beautiful Abilene (there is no place like home) this weekend though. I hope to see you Mike

I’m a beach girl but I guess a trip to the mountains might not be all that bad.

Mike,

your choice in commercials–and computers–may seem to some like a strange postscript to a discussion of beautiful Bear Lake, but there’s a clear connection here, and I just wanted to say that we get it! Clearly, adopting the Mac is just part of your theological aesthetic … a celebration of creativity and creation in their broadest senses… Amen, brother.

Glad you”re home!

I love Big Sur, the Sierra Madres’ giant Sequoias, the Rockies and Tetons, the rivers and forests of western Oregon, and the Cordillera of the Andes is spectacular.

Then there’s Machu Pichu, Iguassu Falls, the trip between Chile and Argentia through the lake region - some of the most beautiful areas in God’s beautiful earth that I’ve seen.

And then there are the Alps, Switzerland’s lakes and meadows, the tundra of Greenland viewed from an overflight. Where do I stop? It’s all beautiful and magnificent!

AND, I must include a West Texas sunset, in fact the constant change in the sky as a Spring storm begins it’s journey our way.

I left Abilene two Sundays ago on my way to Manchester, New Hampshire, for an internship. I stopped in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, to see my Mom and it was beautiful. Then last Friday I drove from there to Huntington, West Virginia, where my Grandmother lives and they are filming “We are Marshall” about the plane crash that killed over 70 of Marshall Universities football team, coaches and fans and how the school is still recovering from that nearly 30 years later, but anyway, yesterday I drove from Huntington to Winchester, Virginia, following a hail storm that made it look like it had just snowed with tremendous contrasts between Green trees and grass and snow white mounds all around - it was beautiful. But tomorrow I leave to head for Manchester, where I will be interviewing 13 church plants affiliated with Restoration House Ministries in all the New England states.

But as far as picking a favorite there are too many to choose from: Estes National Park in Colorado, Red River or Bobcat Pass in New Mexico, the coast of Maine, the Great Wall just outside of Beijing, Lake Tahoe in Nevada, New River Gorge in West Virginia and the list goes on and on…

Rocky Mountain National Park was one of my favored paces to ride.
