Mt. McKinley

Mt. McKinley is the highest point on the North American continent. It is located several hours North of here. We didn't have time to drive all the way to it, but we drive north about 2.5 hours last night and got some great views of it.

Our first sight of it took our breath away. Roger said he had a lump in his throat, I almost started to cry. It is so majestic. Looming above the other mountain ranges, covered in snow, w/the summer artic sun glistening off of it. All I could think was how big our God must be to have held and created that towering moutain in His hands! Why do we ever have trouble trusting Him with the small details of our life? Alaska is truly the most beautiful place I've ever seen, beautiful bay to the south, incredible mountains, everything green and lush, and wildlife so abundant. We truly feel like the Lord blessed us by allowing us to see this part of the world/country. If the creation is this beautiful, this majestic, how Glorious our Lord & Saviour must be!! Isa. 40:12.
