It was a good hike that day.<BR/><BR/>Hi, consise10. Mostly it is the sense of worship that wells up within me that convinces me that God is around. It's not only nature that does that to me though. Sometimes, many times, God uses other people to bring me closer to Him. That doesn't mean I don't have dry times when I wonder where God is at. But the communion that I do experience, the love of other Christians, and the persistent love of God carries me through those times. You see, I think God seeks me like a hound dog on the trail.Tim Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305530681191503858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1168406977053592812007-01-10T00:29:00.000-05:002007-01-10T00:29:00.000-05:00Tim when you go out to nature for walks and ponder...Tim when you go out to nature for walks and ponder about 'God' what kind of indicators are there that show you 'God' is around and listening ?<BR/>Lovely pictures by theway,thankyou for sharing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1168392810032113152007-01-09T20:33:00.000-05:002007-01-09T20:33:00.000-05:00Sounds like you had a good time.Sounds like you had a good time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1168385299758802942007-01-09T18:28:00.000-05:002007-01-09T18:28:00.000-05:00I like the last photo.
