204: FROM IDAHO FALLS TO LOGAN... a 24 hour solitary journey

After attending a funeral on Saturday afternoon, I packed my camera, scriptures, and some food, and then drove up to Idaho Falls to hear a friend speak. I arrived moments before the lecture started and left immediately after. That night, I went for a walk along the Snake River contemplating all that I had heard during the 3 hour talk. I appreciated the time alone to think. I slept for a few hours that night and then I got up at 4:00 AM and drove over to see the sunrise and then hike in the Grand Tetons Mountains.  A friend sent me yesterday the following quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.


"Earth's crammed with heaven,
and every common bush afire with God:
but only he who sees takes off his shoes."  

I bare record that God is the Creator of this world. "And God saw everything that  He had made, and, behold, it was very good."  Genesis 1: 31. In gratitude to Him, here are a few photos from a solitary journey yesterday in the Grand Tetons.

    What is dually noticiable, is not only the beauty in all of God's creations, but the creation that sees God in all things:)

    Amazing isn't it? Have you ever noticed how if you sit in the midst of Gods creations, quietly, how beautiful the music is? By music I mean the music and feeling that is created by his creations - from the rush of a distant waterfall or river, to the sweet voice of the birds, include the beat of the bee and the singing of the wind and you have a whole orchestra and band! How detailed and wonderful is our Heavenly Father!? His creations are intricate and work together harmoniously. Thank you for the pictures and the reminder! :)
