My prayer is that my humble observations will strengthen your Christian walk, whet your appetite for your own exploration of our wonderful parks and, most importantly, in case you don’t know what in the world I’m talking about, encourage you to “seek the Lord while He may be found [and] call on Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6). He’s knocking on your heart’s door right now (Revelation 3:20).
