I just wanted to say that Im pretty much in love with nature
more than almost anything. I drove to grantsville last night
for Kims graduation and back to logan this morning for work
and was blessed to behold the wonders of nature as I drove,
the highlight being as I passed the great salt lake. The sky was
scattered with patches of rain clouds and sharp rays of light burst
through all over wherever they could and arrayed the clouds
with a large variety of color. Where the light escaped it illuminated
the landscape freshly soaked with spring showers. This combination
saturated the fresh new vegetation of the season bringing their colors into
full potential. This whole glorious presentation was reflected in the slightly
wavy lake which was covered with a soft blanket of steam. I envied the
silhouetted birds which swam through the fresh cool air and danced in the
sunlight. The air treated me to the fresh salted smell of the nature that
surrounded me as it gushed into my car through the windows slightly
cracked open and cooled my skin. Its times like these that I feel like I
know what is love and I say a silent prayer to Heavenly Father to thank
him for life and all the beauties in it. Amen.

Dang it man - I cried. I am so lucky to have such a talented nephew. A man who takes time to drink in the amazing world around us and give credit where credit is due. There have been many times in my life where I have found my self giving thanks to God and many of those times I have found my self thanking him for you.

That was very creative to make the words of this post a sunset. I, too, envy those birds. Thanks for sharing that experience.
