Dangerous, but Fun...Exhausting, but Fantastic
This past Saturday, the weather was so beautiful that we just had to go hiking. We picked Saddle Mountain (4 miles-up & down). Steady incline...steep slope...stumbled...slipped...sweated...loose gravel...lost balance...took breaks...drank tons...pretty wild flowers...narrow path...aching knees...towering trees...twists and turns...then...finally, we're on top of the world  (okay...not quite)! The breathtaking view of the mountain range and the ocean made it all worthwhile. So gorgeous...so gigantic...so grand!!! It's hard to describe the feeling I had when standing on an over 3,000 ft. high mountain peak (especially on the edge/tip that protrudes out into thin air). I was in awe of God's awesome wonders! I can't imagine anyone can stare at that striking beauty and not praise its Creator. God is the best Artist!
After cruising downhill, we went to Seaside to make our tummies happy. Ooh...nothing beats fresh seafood! Have you ever tried Salmon cheeks? They're very delicious. We also enjoyed shrimp cocktail, clam chowder, elephant ear, and ice-cream. We walked to the beach (too crowded) and went sightseeing (more walking). Our last stop...was a candy store where the kids enthusiastically selected various candies (sold by weight). Sweet ending to our fun-filled Saturday!
"For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care." Psalm 95:3-7
The mountains and seas testify the majesty of our God Almighty!
