America the Beautiful by Dr. T

It's been a while since I've been on the blog. Bill and I left on 9/16 to "see America" and we just returned on 10/28. What a trip it was! We traveled from "sea to shining sea" and I can say without hesitation that God surely did shed His grace on this great Nation. Each State has its own unique beauty, from magnificent ocean waves crashing on pristine beaches to extraordinary rock formations, mountains, plains and desert, our Country is incredibly beautiful. What's more, the beauty went beyond the topography, beyond Mt. Rushmore in all its splendor, beyond Old Faithful putting on a show and beyond strolling herds of buffalo. The beauty was also there in the people we met. Hard working citizens just like Bill and me, we met them at the visitor centers, the rest stops, the restaurants, hotels and museums. All of them eager to accommodate us, to share their stories and to hear ours. Even before I left home, I instinctively knew what I would find and in spite of all the chaos our Country is in, meeting folks all across the Land gave me hope that we will come through this dark time and emerge stronger....after all, this is AMERICA!
