Take a Look around...

New Year's in San Francisco... I have a new favorite vacation city with all that it has to offer. The family and I packed a ton of fun sightseeing into one day. Angie and the kids wanted to ride the trolley, so I took a little side trip up to Coit Tower (I was on car duty/Frisco parking is a real challenge). I got a 180 degree panorama of the city at night and it was breathtaking. The entire day was really satisfying, and the sourdough clam chowder bowl was to die for. The city has such a European feel to it, and enchanting in a way. I kept thinking how surprised I was that we were having such fun, since I was quite ignorant to a city that is the butt of so many people's jokes. It made me think of the gospel, of which my whole faith is centered around, and the stigma attached to it 'out there'. The good news these days sure comes under the gun of bad humor, and lots of ignorant speculation as well. What a privilege though when you're the one who gets to walk along side someone who sees the beauty of God for the first time. The gospel, unlike the intrigue of San Francisco, is an eternal journey of discovery that awaits those willing to give it a look. There must be more....
