I have a potentially controversial post about arrogance in the church composing itself in my head. Uncertain whether it would be edifying to actually type it out, posting more pictures from our NC vacation seems a much safer route to take this afternoon. (How's that for a tease or a copout- take your pick?)
Friday we spent the day at Chimney Rock Park, which is a phenomenal place! We really wore ourselves out and didn't make it to the 404 foot waterfall, (which was disappointing since I'm all about getting to the waterfall at the end); nonetheless, we had a fabulous time enjoying God's creation!
Can you see me and the two younger girls beneath the flag pole?
There was an Appalachian man who played the Hammered Dulcimer splendidly. (As an aside, my 6 year old is singing Step by Step at this moment, it's such a joy to hear her singing, "I will follow you all of my days" with her whole heart!)
These make great pictures, but it sure makes this mama nervous for her kids to be hopping around and such at an elevation of 2, 280 feet!!! I'm not exactly afraid of heights, but I am afraid of my kids flipping over guard rails from such heights!
Playing peek-a-boo in the rocks was fun! There were all kinds of neat hiding places! But once again, it wasn't really a place I wanted my wee ones to be playing hide and go seek, I wanted to SEE them AT. ALL. TIMES.
Praise the Lord for yet another glorious day! (And that we all managed to avoid falling into the depths!)
And how fitting that we were listening to Lincoln Brewster in the van!
Oh Lord, Our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth
Oh Lord, Our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth
The heavens declare Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains, they bow down before You
So I’ll join with the earth and I’ll give my praise to You
"Before the mountains were born
Or you gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting,
You are God."
Psalms 90:2
