Where do you enjoy God's creation?

Our question of the month (as seen in the April edition of Ambassador's Update) is:

Do you have a favorite spot that exemplifies in your mind the glory of God's handiwork in creation?

Alaska’s Inside Passage, New Zealand’s South Island, and Interlaken, Switzerland. Obviously there were no buildings in the Garden of Eden—there is something magnificent about the creation of God in its pristine form. I’m always drawn to that.
--John MacArthur (Grace to You)

The mountains. Particularly Winter Park, Colorado; I like to meditate Psalm 95:5 while I'm skiing down the hill: "In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him."
--Bill Bumpas (Fellowship for Christian Athletes)

And here are a few responses from the Ambassador staff:

One of my favorite places is being out on the boat on Lake Mojave as the sun is setting across the desert landscape. The canyons and mountains turn into brilliant reds, oranges and purples against the blue water and darkening sky –it’s truly breathtaking.
--Anna Sinclair

Always the ocean—the power of all that water never ceases to amaze me. . .”the sea is His for He made it!” (Psa.95:5)
--Evelyn Gibson

My wife Cathy and my two daughters age 9 and 11 share a favorite hobby. We happen to be a Southern California surfing family. We love to surf at a few favorite spots near where we live. And we love to head to the beach at the crack of dawn to get an early start. To be out in the water just before the sun comes up is an incredible feeling. Right before our eyes, we see all of God’s handiwork develop in the form of a slow fade up. And we become apart of this picture as we catch and ride one of these amazing waves God created.
--Mark Conner

Warner Springs Ranch!!! It is far enough from the city lights that the stars in the heavens give the most magnificent display of God’s handiwork!
--Jani Williamson

Rey Lakes Pass at over 10k+ feet in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains and the tide pools along the California coast. Amazing!
--Kathy Randall

Wherever I am, I think about this and it relaxes me with God's presence that our God would care so much for this tiny speck of a planet, when there is a whole universe he can enjoy.
--Jery Lee
