As a native of the U.S. South (I've lived in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi, y'all), I have been blessed to experience a little of the beauty outside the 'Ole South, including hiking trips through the mountains of New Mexico, Alberta (Canada), and Alaska, a mission trip to Moscow, Russia, and business trips to Puerto Rico, California and New York. However, there is still something intimately lovely about the Southeast - from the Smokies to the Gulf Coast, and much in between. So here are a few pictures from my trip through the Southeast so far. Hopefully more to come.
And keep in mind that these images are only a shadow of the true experience, which is only a foretaste of glory divine, for which all of creation (including us) groans with the pains of childbirth for that day when all will be made right. For more, see Romans chapter 8, Isaiah 35, and Revelation 21.

good thoughts Joey. thanks for the pics of Junaleska. I spend a couple of summers there in my youth group days. It brings back memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. I have a lot of memories from Lake Junaluska growing up, and since I was driving through the area I had to stop there. It's really a beautiful place.
