Oh how I wish I could have shared this day with someone! It will be so difficult to describe it to its fullest. The day started off a wonderful, hot sunny summer day up here at McKinley Princess Lodge — absolutely gorgeous, though you couldn’t see Mt. McKinley because of its veil of clouds. Then a front started to roll in way off in the distance, advancing steadily through the valley. I could see the rain pulling the clouds down to the earth. Eventually, the sun was hidden, and the blue sky was behind me; the front now halted right above me. Thunder rolled. The gentle, but fearsome growls distantly hinting at the power held by the storm. The sky increasingly darkened, ominous clouds blocking out the light. I could smell the rain in the air now. A lightning bolt flashed down, illuminating the distant clouds. It was so beautiful. Sprinkles, then torrents splashed down from the weeping clouds. It was awe inspring to see the beauty of Creation’s changes. In my opinion, to see a storm advance like that is one of the most amazing things to behold in nature. Now, I’m sitting here in my humble little trailer room listening to Appleseed Cast and watching the rain continue to trace lines in the air. Like I said, it is too hard to describe with full justice. You just had to be here. How can one say there is no Creator? There is too much beauty in this world.
