God The Creator

I go to a Bible study once a week, where we are in Genesis. We obviously covered the creation first, and I gained a new appreciation (still not a complete understanding) of God's power, artistry, and majesty. Kara and I recently went camping with some friends to Pedernales Falls State Park. It is beautiful there, and God created all of it.

These are the "falls" themselves. Not what you traditionally picture when you hear waterfall. More of a series of small pools connected by a flowing river. There are signs posted everywhere warning about flash floods that can raise the water level dramatically in mere seconds. My photography skills do not do this scene justice. It's neat to walk and explore the river area, and see the impact the water has had on the rock over time.

Here's one of the many pools that are formed along the river. The water is clear enough to see that there are some pretty serious drop offs creating some surprisingly deep spots. It was a gorgeous clear day with perfect weather. Look peaceful and calm? It was.

At night it got a little cool though so I used some of God's creations and the knowledge and skill he gave me to build....
the raging inferno displayed here. It kept us warm while aiding in the building of smores.

This last pic is my favorite. Again my skills with the camera do not capture the true impact of the scene. Actually any still picture would lose some of the impact. I could stare at this scene all day. God is truly a master creator. The beauty and power combined here are simply breathtaking. This is the prettiest most inspiring sight I saw the entire trip...

and the waterfall is neat looking too.
