Badlands, South Dakota - “Rend Your Hearts”
Badlands National Park, South Dakota - “Dust to Dust You Shall Return”
I said to myself,
“God will bring into judgment
both the righteous and the wicked,
for there will be a time for every activity,
a time to judge every deed.”
I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.
Ecclesiastes 3:17-20

Colorado River, Rocky Mountains - “LORD, You Know Me”
LORD, you have examined me. You know me. You know when I sit down and when I stand up. Even from far away, you comprehend my plans. You study my traveling and resting. You are thoroughly familiar with all my ways. There isn’t a word on my tongue, LORD, that you don’t already know completely. You surround me—front and back. You put your hand on me. That kind of knowledge is too much for me; it’s so high above me that I can’t fathom it.
Psalm 139:1-6

Great Smokey Mountains - “Do You Not Know? Do You Not Hear?”
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
Who brings princes to nothing,
and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.
Isaiah 40:21-23
Denali National Park, Alaska - “A Voice Cries in the Wilderness”
A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken."
Shores Drive Park - “Each Night I Sing His Songs”
But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,

praying to God who gives me life.
