Colorado Sunset

[KeilCoppes]

I just came home after evening services. As I came up the hill towards my neighborhood, the sky behind me turned orange and the sun became a blazing ball of orange fire shooting out orange rays against the dusky blues and purples of the mountains and began to slowly sink. At the top of the hill near my home, I looked across the open schoolyard at the mountains, and each of the foothill ranges were outlined - dark purple on indigo on blue, with the sky lit up in pinks, roses, and oranges as the sun sank behind the mountains. I continued down the hill among the green trees of my neighborhood just reflecting on the awesome glory God has put in creation.

And this is the God who calls us to His faithful service.

That sounds gorgeous. We had a pretty good one here ourselves tonight. I guess even smog serves some purpose in God's artwork.

Reminds me of the song God of Wonders.

Thanks for sharing.
God is Awesome.
It is so evident when folks take the time to enjoy nature.

I really love sunsets. I am totally in awe of God when he paints such a wonderful picture,

I saw one like that in BC a few years back while on a ferry boat.

Speaking of Colorado, when I was a teen we went there on vacation (camping!) and I remember waking up really early to the most incredible scene ever at sunrise. I was looking at the mountains and everything had this pastel-like colour to it....looked surreal.

Many evenings and mornings in Colorado are like that - I like to think that God uses the Colorado sky and the mountains as His painting canvas.

America-the Beautiful was written here - this is where the purple mountain majesty is. :^)

I believe it! That's what I saw that morning.

The writer of America the Beautiful didn't have Indiana in mind! lol!! Actually, I can't say that. I have spent some time in the last month at a local park along the river and the scenery there is quite pretty. The days I've been there have been sunny with blue sky and a few fluffy clouds. The blues, whites, greens all blend in so perfectly you feel as though you can see heaven when you look up. Way cool!
