Back from vacation

Back from vacation, what a time. Close encounter with a Grizzly bear (he walked over a road behind us as we stood outside our vehicle. Saw a large Elk, lots of eagles, mountain goats and more. The Rocky mountains are so beautiful, we went through Montana and up to Banff and all around that area. I was of course thinking about God most of the time, the Bible says He can be seen in His creation. How beautiful and majestic everything is, just a small taste of Him and the better things to come.
My system was in fear most of the time, it seemed unsettled and protecting me. Foolishly I was upset at some parts who were out front, but that’s a bad thing to do, it’s all about protecting me after all, and I should be grateful. I am most of the time I think.
Someone also told me that many Viet Nam war vets and other men live in the mountains near Glacier Park, being unable to cope with everyday life. That seemed really attractive at the time, but I was just trying to escape everything.
