“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” – Isaiah 6:3.
Lynne and I recently returned from a four-day vacation in which we began our personal exploration of our new home state. Here are a few highlights . . .
- Flashbacks to a simpler time with a more easy-going pace on Mackinac Island;
- The awesome experience in dipping my hand in the waters of three of the Great Lakes;
- The gentle lapping of the waves stilling my soul;
- The natural, almost unspoiled grandeur of the U.P.;
- Quiet in the forest so loud that you can hear it;
- The steady, almost mesmerizing roar of Tahquamenon Falls;
- The cornucopia of colors as God’s creation changes seasons;
- The haunting strains of The Edmund Fitzgerald as we viewed remains of shipwrecks; and,
- Beacons of history as we climb the steps to the towers of lighthouses that dot the shorelines like exclamation points.
As great as it was, the best part was being able to come back to a place called “home” on Stratford Rd, and to a family to love and serve at Crossroads Community Baptist Church in Ann Arbor.
