Later start to day-Aug 11

The sunset as we drove along. Our minds sure with folks back home today as we got word that Rich needed emergency surgery. As we walked along the rim of the canyon, we stopped and talked to our Heavenly Father. We gazed at the large canyon and knew who created all this and also knew that He is also holding Rich and Sharon in His powerful hand in MD. We experienced a peaceful feeling and knew that God is in control regardless of where we are. We are praying here in Utah tonight for a good night for all.
The moon was already up in the sky preparing to do its job when darkness set in. This is the same moon that is in the area back home!!
Driving through the Painted Desert as the sun was going down was a real blessing to see.
This was a tower close to the Indian reservation along the Painted Desert. We climbed to the top of it and saw quite a view of the canyon with the Colorado River at the bottom.
The weather was so nice to do some walking along the rim of the canyon
Who can say there is no God? This is an awesome worshipful feeling when standing and gazing at this creation.

today was a day of various feelings and emotions. This morning Mel took the car to have the oil changed and the tires rotated. They noticed that the back tires were wearing a little on the inside and suggested we have an alignment done. So Mel spoke to the Hyundai place there and had an appt at a Supeior Tire place. They were very nice and fit us in. It just took longer than we had hoped.But we knew the Grand Canyon was still there!
