    As I sat at the Grand Canyon, we were asked to reflect
    on what the Grand Canyon said to us. I felt the usual
    minuteness and the presence and love of God, but I also
    felt some similarities to my own life. I thought that maybe
    I could have another perspective. Could I be a Grand
    Canyon? The Grand Canyon started out at the bottom of
    an ocean, even the bottom dwellers were above. I am
    sure that the angels looked into the canyon and saw only
    the ocean bottom if they even looked that far. However,
    God saw the beauty that lay ahead for this bottom of the
    ocean but it would have to withstand many hardships.
    One of the first chapters in the life of the canyon was a
    volcano. I can compare the volcano to "world rocking"
    events in my own life. Could the lava be my reactions to
    those events that changed my world? Could the lava be
    symbolic to anger, bitterness, and lack of forgiveness?

    As I remember, the ranger spoke of the river pushing up
    against the lava. I see that river as God's love. The river
    continued to push against the lava until it broke through.
    Does my lava hold back love? Will I allow God's loving
    river to break through my lava dam to flow freely?
    The water eroded the rocks and made the beautiful
    crevices in the canyon. Also within the water, there were
    many stones that caused the ridges in the rock. Could
    the stones be patience, integrity, honesty, and kindness?
    Will I allow those stones to permanently etch upon my
    own life?

    Although the stones were small, I am sure it was
    somewhat "painful" to be etched upon. Will I allow
    uncomfortable circumstances to etch character into my
    life? The river brought beauty to the canyon and made it
    more interesting. More
