Stained Glass

So, it has been a pretty killer day.  About 80 degrees, sitting in Breckenridge, Colorado with some really good friends.  Everyone went into town in order to do some shopping, and have some really good food, and view some art at one of the 20 or so art galleries in this little burg.  We even went to a pottery place tonight and all painted our own pieces before our dinner and devotional.  

The view from anywhere in this town is simply stunning.  Breathtaking.  As you look up, you are immediately greeted by snow capped mountains.

I was so overtaken by the beauty as I walked along main street that I had to stop, take a seat on a bench and draw in my journal.  It was overwhelming.  This afternoon we even went to a decoupage class at our resort.  Awesome!!  Keith, Cheri, Kara, Partay and I whiling away about 90 minutes busily crafting, looking out a window at the mountain vistas.

After we went upstairs to our room, Cheri and I pulled out a book I bought at a little book shop in town, which had the Stained Glass designs of Frank Loyd Wright on something like transparency pages.  So, we colored in these designs, sitting next to the open window, as the deliciously cool breeze and sunshine washed over us.  

It is really easy to see the glory of God in this place.  You don't need a lot of additional evidence about the existence of God - all you need to do is look UP!  But I just wonder how long it takes for you to take all of this for granted?  How long until the images around you do not speak sermons about the power and glory of God?  I don't know...I'm too immersed in His presence right now!  Hope you're having a GREAT week!
