The Vast Domain

This is my first attempt at the world of blogging.  While trying to come up with a name for this blog, I thought of a great chorus sung many years ago by a group of teenagers embarking on a great adventure. We were on a mail boat from Nassau, Bahamas to the out island of Great Abaco. I will never forget singing the song "How Big Is God", while looking up at the vast sky and millions of stars and traveling on a seemlessly endless ocean beneath us.  Let me just share the words of that song with you before I begin, as a preface and mission statement for this blog.  It went like this:

     "How big is God?  How big and wide His vast domain?
        To try and tell, these lips can only start.
     He's big enough to rule this mighty universe,
         Yet small enough to live within my heart."

The earth is just a small part of this domain and mighty universe yet God has given it to us to enjoy that by seeing it we may know there is a Creator and, if He created all of this, then how much more special are we being made in His image

So, with all that being said, I decided to go on a trip. I have packed up my bike and am heading off to Europe. I will endeavor in this blog to unveil some of the beauty and splendor that God has created, as seen by my eyes. It's all around us.  You see it everywhere. The Pacific Northwest is especially full of the beauty of God's creation, while the desert has a different and very special kind of beauty.   As someone once stated, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".  Would you like to "behold" some of the beauty that I will be experiencing?   I plan to film some of the trip and will take lots of pictures.  If so, please sign on to this blog everyday while I'm gone and I will fill you in on some of the details of my trip.

May I say, I wish you were all going with me!
