Starry Nights

The full moon and starry night skies were so breath-taking this past weekend.
They constantly brought the below Psalm to mind.

Psalm 19

¹ The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
² Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
³ They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
⁴ Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.

The Wind River Range, Labor Day 2009

We had a wonderful long weekend in the Wind River Range with my brother, and friend Lee Erin. It was awesome to see such majestic mountains, breath-taking scenery, and spend time outdoors. We hiked 45-50 miles from above Pinedale to the Titcomb Basin. The weather was perfect, the moon was full, and it was very hard to leave. More pictures coming soon...!

Psalm 148

Psalm 148

¹ Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the heavens!
Praise him from the skies!
² Praise him, all his angels!
Praise him, all the armies of heaven!
³ Praise him, sun and moon!
Praise him, all you twinkling stars!
⁴ Praise him, skies above!
Praise him, vapors high above the clouds!
⁵ Let every created thing give praise to the Lord,
for he issued his command, and they came into being.
⁶ He set them in place forever and ever.
His decree will never be revoked.

⁷ Praise the Lord from the earth,
you creatures of the ocean depths,
⁸ fire and hail, snow and clouds,^a]">[a]
wind and weather that obey him,
⁹ mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
¹⁰ wild animals and all livestock,
small scurrying animals and birds,
¹¹ kings of the earth and all people,
rulers and judges of the earth,
¹² young men and young women,
old men and children.

¹³ Let them all praise the name of the Lord.
For his name is very great;
his glory towers over the earth and heaven!
¹⁴ He has made his people strong,
honoring his faithful ones—
the people of Israel who are close to him.

Praise the Lord!

"Climb the mountains, and get their good tidings."

Can't wait for this weekend! Haven't been four days in the mountains for too long!

This day, one year ago....

On top of Laramie Peak, in the middle of a huge thunderstorm, Dave whipped out a custom made Twister game for our "Extreme Twister" adventures! My third spin indicated that the other player should move to "yellow, knee". And down on one knee Dave went. And out came a diamond ring and the most beautiful proposal ever. We toasted with champagne, while the tears mingled with the rain. Witnessed only by a forest of trees and my faithful mutt, Rio.

Overflow

2 Corinthians 1:5
For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Medicine Bow Peak

Dave and I spent a beautiful weekend in the Snowy Range. We stopped in Laramie for a Coal Creek fix, camped near Libby Creek, and climbed Medicine Bow Peak. The sun was bright, the wild flowers abundant, and the company most excellent.
