Twisted Sideways

Recently I returned from California, sent there for a conference. We conferenced. We played. And I thought that it was my way of getting that feeling of wanting to travel out of my system. I mean who knew that it took 4 hours of a plane ride to get there? We hit up the beach, even the PCH – Pacific Coast Highway. Threw down in Laguna Beach and Newport Beach and took in the sites. Albeit, most of our time was spent in meetings and at general sessions where keynote speakers told it like it was.

Tonight, I hung out with a friend that has an itch to travel. I thought I was over it having not been back an entire week yet from California. That was until we started talking about beaches and scuba diving, skiing and mountains, foreign food and languages and all the places that we wish we could rather be. It’s also hard to believe that just a year ago, I was returning from adventures in Europe with my brother and two other friends of ours. The picture here is just one of many that I took while walking down the trail to Gimmelwald, Switzerland. This is one of those captured moments that I wish I could back to. If and when I have the chance to go back, I plan to visit there again. You can see more of my pictures from that trip here.

It’s amazing though to think about the splendor of what God has created. The flowers and mountains and just the vast landscape of the world around us is amazing. The fact that we can get in a plane and be halfway around the world in a matter of hours is mind boggling. And the ability to meet new people, see new places and things is something that we take for granted. But all the same, it’s something that I miss deeply tonight. Traveling is the best way to experience life, a great way to see Him.
