Your Favorite National Park

 Have you been watching Ken Burns series on the National Parks?
I have been blessed, I feel, to have been to most of them in the west, except in Alaska. Its hard to say which one is my favorite. Two of my favorites are Yellowstone and Zion.

While watching the series, I was surprised to hear how many people described it as a spiritual experience. Where do you feel the presence of God the most, at church, praying? There is something about standing at awe, breathless at the foot of a mountain range with a roaring river winding through. Or a canyon painted with brilliant colors. Huge monuments, unmade and unspoiled by human hands, testify to a creator who can bring them into existence by simply his spoken word.

Have you ever wondered, with all the wonderful things we see here, how wonderful will be the things to come?

 I haven't seen the Burn's series but I do feel very close to God when I am out and away from it all, just being blessed in the magnifiscent beauty of His creation. It is one of the reason's I am so drawn to photography. Being able to capture that perfect 1/125th of a second of a special experience He has graciously shown you is indescribeable!

 My favorite place I have ever been was Davy Crocket Forest in East Texas, and the Angelina Forest there as well.
