Last evening, an incredible man named Roger felt prompted out of the generosity of his heart to purchase a hotel room for us at America's Best Value Inn. So this morning, we woke up in a hotel room full of bike's and BOB trailers, and gourged on the continental breakfast that the hotel provided. After a great breakfast, we left St. George and made our way to Springdale which is the town right outside of Zion. We saw some incredible sights along the way which included red-colored rocks and incredible Mesas that jutted upwards into the sky. When we arrived in Springdale, we met J. R. Madsen who had hosted Cooper, Michael, and Jon two years earlier. His hospitality was incredible and he treated us to a delicious lunch at his daughter's coffee shop, the Mean Bean. Afterwards, we caught a ride into Zion National Park where we hiked Angel's landing. The hike was wild with the end being a narrow strip with sheer cliffs on each side that dropped thousands of feet into the canyon below. We enjoyed our time on top of the canyon and than headed back into Springdale where we cooked our own supper of Hot Dogs, Fruit, Chips, and Coke. We than crashed into Madsen's living room completely exhaused after a long day.

ReplyDeleteBoth the pictures of creation & the stories of generous people you are meeting are inspiring. It made me think of this:
ReplyDeletePsalm 111:2-5
Great are the works of the LORD;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.
