Of course our park is beautiful and inspirational but the surrounding areas are also amazing! I was continually reminded that when God called creation good that statement applied to me. I am a part of God’s good creation.

I think when we spend too long in one kind of environment we begin to think that God loves only one kind of person.

From exploring caves and obsidian flows, to rivers and painted hills, to mountainside gardens and views that spanned many miles. The magnitude of types of things that God created, loves, and calls good reveals a diversity that assures me that God must surely include me, as different as I am, in all that is called good.
