We have been stunned by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and all the other Western heights, some buttes, some rock formations like the Badlands. Over half our country appears to be creatively designed, multi-hued rock. The whole state of Wyoming is! Can you imagine God’s delight as He designed all of this?
Not original to me, but every moment since Creation, every surface of these rocks has changed color in the light, never two moments exactly the same. No human eye has viewed 99% of those moments, yet God filled them with beauty. He is extravagant beyond belief with His beauty. Designed for us, yes, but so much more. Designed for His own delight! Because He can do anything!!!!!!!
We remember this vacation every day right now. God was soooo good to let us take such a long trip together, each with our favorite person. Safety of travel, comfort of accommodation, the right medication for my arthritic knee so I was not only highly mobile but without pain! God is always good but we were so aware He is a personal, caring God on this trip. A loving Father.
This was 1000 times beyond our expectations. Please take this trip with your families *before* you reach 65, like me. :-)
I was thinking, the other day, that we stayed in Idaho and drove *across* the unpopulated part of Wyoming to Nebraska. So, although we were in Wyoming for three consecutive days, the only buildings we were in there were the national park visitor centers in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and then those beautiful Wyoming rest stops where we ate from our snack box in the parking lot!
We could not have asked for more! We drove nearly 6000 miles with no access to the car’s sound system because Mazdas apparently don’t like Apple Bluetooths, but we somehow did not need the music or podcasts. What we had was more than enough.
I agree with Dave - thanks for taking us along with you!
I really enjoy your pictures and commentary Ma'am! 😁👍
I thought even our awareness of science processes like water and wind erosion points to God. These rocks have indeed changed over time; those changes were masterminded by God. The depths of His mind are beyond our comprehension (and always will be. Only the Mormons think we become gods in eternity). We can spend forever learning about Him yet never grasp His infinity. Holy, holy, holy!
Beautiful
