The reason for our trip (as if we need a reason) was Homeschool Day at the nearest State Park. (And, Daddy wanted to squeeze in a little more Trout fishing.)
All this beauty always sets my mind on the right track. The song, "There is a God" was scrolling through my head as a result.
"Try and put your arms around
the 100 year old tree,"
and let it run full speed,
Take a look down at the world from 30,000 feet
on your next flight..."
"Watch a flock of birds
against the morning sun,"
"Close your eyes and listen
to the river run..."
"Catch a firefly in your hand
or a raindrop on your tongue.
That's right..."
[Chorus:]
"There is a God,
There is a God,
There is a God,
How much proof do you need?"
"Plant a seed and see
what comes out of the ground,"
"Find the heartbeat on your baby's ultrasound,
In a few years hear it laughing,
and don't it sound like a song?"
"Stop and think about
what you don't understand,"
"Things like life and love,
and how the world began..."
"Hear the doctor say he can't explain it,
but the cancer is gone..."
[Chorus:]
"There is a God,
There is a God,
There is a God,
How much proof do you need?"
[Bridge:]
"Science says it's all just circumstance.
Like this whole world's just an accident..."
"But if you want to shoot that theory down,
Look around."
"Just look around."
"There is a God,
There is a God,
There is a God,
How much proof do you need?"
"Oh there is a God
There is a God There is a God
How much proof do you need?"
(Listen to There is a God, by Lee Ann Womack)
