Because He Can

You know, living in Alaska ain't so bad sometimes. My buddy Glen took these pictures this summer here in Southeast Alaska. There are times I firmly believe that this really is God's country... then it rains... and rains some more... and then I remember that God likes rain too, at least I hope He does.

If it weren't for the rain then we wouldn't enjoy such beautiful pictures as these that Glen took, because these scenes would be all too normal, run-of-the-mill, been-there-done-that kinds of views. What I realized though is that God doesn't do normal and isn't run-of-the-mill. I need to remind myself of that. God is in the abnormal business. He does things the way things shouldn't be done (or at least the way we think), just for kicks, just to prove that He can... and to show us how big He really is. First the rain, then the awe. What a cool God.
