Confessions of a Graduate Assistant: Part 5

I didn't remember it being so breathtaking.

That's right folks. Today we went to the Grand Canyon. It's hard to describe with words how incredibley beautiful it is. All I can really think of to tell you is that it's more beautiful, more spectacular, more mind boggling than you ever thought it might be.

For those of you who seem to think this world came to be by accident, do me a favor. Stand on the edge of this masterpiece and explain to me how this was made by happenstance. Explain to me how nothing was instantly (or over time became) something and how that something then became something so extraordinary.
No, this was designed by Someone who knew what would capture our hearts. This was molded by the hands of a mighty God, the Architect of land and sea. You can talk all day about science and rivers that carve away over billions of years. Talk till you're blue in the face, but you can't explain away the jump that happens in your heart when you see this for the first (or any) time.

After exploring the Canyon and getting some great photos (which will be up asap) we rode the train back to Williams and the hotel. Along the way we learned some trivia points about Arizona and were "robbed" by some cowboys. We sang a few songs for the other passengers as well -- got video which will also be up soon.

We leave bright and early on Thursday for Vega, TX. Last hotel night of the trip -- you know what that means.. Date Night. Get excited...


Goodnight friends -- miss you!
