just me and God

i'm in alaska to do a couple of shows with the band i'm working for (i love my job). today me and a couple of the guys from the crew and band left anchorage and went driving down interstate 1. at first i was mad that they made me drive, but after seeing the incredible views and being able to see out of the windshield instead of just a little side window, i was glad. our destination was a national park just outside the town of whittier to see a glacier.

i hiked up on the glacier, and you can see how far by how small the people are in the picture above. looking the other way the view was -

i don't talk much about my faith here in the ole' blog. but after today, i'm going to have to say just a couple of words. when i got up to the place where i was taking these pictures, and looking up toward the glacier and mountains, i could not see, hear, smell, etc. anything that wasn't God's creation. and i was not even minuscule in comparison to my surroundings. it was an unbelievably humbling moment. i tried to come up with some song or hymn to sing to myself, but nothing seemed appropriate. finally i just ended up kneeling down and whispering a quiet prayer of thanks. thanks for the opportunity to be present in that situation. thanks that in those moments i was in the presence of the Creator and felt completely fulfilled and wanted nothing but for the moment to last just a bit longer.
