Waiting for the perfect moment

Ever do that? Go out to west Texas, or wherever you do it in your state, and wait 4 hours to see the first of hundreds of meteors? We get to the park hours before nightfall on July 4th to see the 5 minute fireworks show. Personally, Saturday was one of those days for me. It had been a great day of riding the motorcycle through the mountains. Good music, beautiful views and the owner of my soul accompanied me the whole way. From the mountains of Nederland to the boulders of, well, Boulder it was all good. The rivers leading down to Boulder were packed with ppl swimming, climbing rocks and of course smoking...most tourists would suppose it was cigarette smoke but anyone who's been around here long enough knows every day is green day in Boulder ;).

After a good, very expensive burger (dont ever move to CO..cost of living is rediculous, Texas has it figured out ;). ) I headed out of town a little ways to get on top of a big rock to wait. This view is why I chose this rock. 

When is the last time you went out and ust sat and looked at what He created? Its so easy to get distracted with everything else going on but when your out on a rock with the mountains of CO or the Hills and rivers of TX or the beauty of wherever you live the only thing to distract from your thoughts is His creation and that only brings our thoughts back to Him. This in turn will make the other thoughts, problems and prayers clearer then they were before. Meditation and prayer is something that I know I dont have enough of and its right there waiting for me every day. Say no to the movie or the party or the extra work and go and spend the hours with the one who gave you that time in the first place.

After a few hours those magical moments came into sight and my camera started snapping. I'm no professional so they aren't perfect but its hard to get a bad shot with such a subject. The sunset. The sun is a breathtaking experience every time. From a photographers point of view its so amazing how people have come up with hundreds of ways to put light on a subject but without fail the sun is without a doubt the best light around. We've seen who knows how many pictures of the sunset and each time its like "wow".  His creation never gets old. And it never will. 

Its His imagination! We think we are so cool and creative when in the end all the colors we use and the shapes we form are all colors and shapes that he came up with before the beginning of time. Go out this summer and let the good times roll but while your doing that look around you and let Him distract you. 

Twas a glorious sunset indeed.

  It was all worth waiting for and to soak up this gift of glory goes past words. I hope you can find some time this summer and beyond to find these moments..these hours.

Here's a few more pics from the past week.

Love Y'all
