This One Is For You!

O.K. so apparently, according to my ever so informative sister-in-law, I don't ever have any post that are comment worthy. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. So this one is for you (you know who you are)!
This past week I have been out of town on a business trip! (hehe, makes me sound important) Anyways today we had the opportunity to take a drive up a mountain. By the time we were at the top we had reached 8000 feet elevation. O.K. so you have to understand that where I live the elevation is like 140 feet. So 8000 is a big deal. Anywho, as I was driving on an extremely curvy road we pulled over at a vista point(aka picture spot). We could see the entire valley, it was truly a site to see. Then my good friend and business partner who was also in the car pointed out that you could see the road that took us all the way back to where we were staying. Now call it cheesy or whatever you prefer but I call it "my little insight into heaven". I got to thinking about how high up we were, the fact that it seemed like you could see everything, and of course our Heavenly Father.
So I suppose that what we were privileged to view on top of that mountain was a little like heaven and what our Heavenly Father all the time. The road home is sooooo clear to him from where he sits that I'm sure He just wants to reach down and give us a little push in the right direction.
When we returned to the base of the mountain we could only view about 1 mile in front of us.
Kinda interesting that we took a drive to kill some time and in return was able to have "my little insight into heaven".
This might not make sense to anyone reading this but I figured that it beat posting something about spring.
So I write this one for you( you know who you are) and maybe it will get a few other minds turning as to what our Heavenly Father sees.

Hey chicky! The nice thing about having a blog is that it is all yours to write whatever you want whenever you want. If people don't want to read it, they obviously don't have to! :) Nice insight on the top of the mountain! I miss you! Hope you are having a blast! :) Jack asks about Treven (and you for some reason! :) every day...."No Jack, he's still in Arizona...." by the time you get back he'll probably just be getting used to the idea of him being there! HaHa! :) Talk to you later!
