The two impulses in travel are to get away from home and pursue something -
a landscape, people, an exotic place.
~ Paul Theroux, American travel writer and novelist
Beauty was created by God for a purpose: to give us the experience of wonder.
Wonder, in turn, is intended to lead us to the ultimate human expression and privilege: worship.
~ Steve DeWitt, Eyes Wide Open: Enjoying God in Everything
The greatest wonder is not the creation but the Creator. He is beautiful.

Vince and Julia's vehicle had a mechanical problem in the middle of the reserve... with dangerous animals all around us - lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and hippo! At just the right time, there was actually phone network allowing Vince to call and get advice from a mechanic friend. The two guys succeeded in making the repair with what was on hand.
Believe it or not - - it was 98 degrees while we were there. Whew, that's hot!
I don't get into Kenya's game parks and reserves very often, but whenever the opportunity comes my way, I enjoy it immensely! The wonder of it all does indeed lead me to worship the Creator!
