Today was a great day; no, it was a spectacular day. It was cloud-free, about 70 degrees, and I was at one of my favorite places - Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the UP. There is a place in the park I love. AT the Lower Falls, you can row a boat out to an island, where the falls split and go on either side. On the south side, there are 2 falls that are not that far apart. The riverbed there is solid rock, so if you take your shoes off you can sit, wade, and splash in the river just above one fall, and just below another.
Today, with the perfect temperature, the clear water, and the first colors of fall on display, I could have sat in this one area all day. I revel in the noise, the roar, the spray, and the feeling of rushing water around me. I think God loves it when we revel in His creation. When humanity decided to rebel against God, we did more than mess up our lives, we took creation with us. With the resurrection, God intervened and began His great work of healing all creation. Today, I could believe it, and even more, I could almost feel it. SO in the middle of nowhere in the UP - playing in the river as a 44 year old man, I got a glimpse of what will be. Do you believe it? Do you live like it?
