As the sun set yesterday, the Olympic Mountains were a black outline against a pink sky...truly spectacular!! We had gone up to Everett to take my mother-in-law out for an early birthday dinner. The Everett bay and Mt. Baker were stunning on such a clear and bright day!

By the time we arrived back home, the sun had long since set and the moon was out in its fullness and it was extremely bright. The stars were as vivid as I have ever seen them. The moon was so bright that as we drove up our hill we could see Mt. Rainier very clearly. It was almost surreal.

This is not a slam. This is not a 'bashing moment'. I'm not into that, but I have to ask a very simple question: when we, who live in this part of the world, and our surrounded by such natural beauty, how is there even a hint that this all came to be without the creator, God, putting it all together?

MTC!
