Road Trip Playlist 2014 #12

Review of June 16...

Well this road trip ran through Joshua Tree National Park yesterday; to be honest, I never thought the Joshua Tree was a real tree when I first heard of the U2 album.  And having seen them now, I think they look like something out of Tim Burton or Dr Seuss' imagination...

The further / higher you go in the park, the more you get surrounded in groves of these big yucca trees--it was very weird.  There are also many large rock formations throughout the park - I climbed on some and took a few minutes to sit & enjoy the silence and wind.  But, I stayed away from this one because I thought sooner or later that balance rock on top is gonna fall down!

It's a beautiful park - a peaceful place and a good opportunity to be reminded of the grandeur of this world and the awesome creative power of our God.  

But, it's back on the road again--making my way slowly back to Sacramento where I will share with the Antelope Road Christian Fellowship on Wednesday evening.  On the way, I may catch a little "fever" but I shouldn't "turn blue"...

and now..., continuing with the 2014 Playlist...

The band The Black Keys had been growing on me, and I thought I was passed it--then they released the album Turn Blue, and got me back into listening to them.  The title track, says, "I really don't think you know there could be hell below"--whatever the band was going for, I think a little reminder of the potential of negative consequences is helpful, especially in our fast-paced, act first think later culture.

Thanks for your continuing interest, thoughts & prayers.  Pray for Lebanon this week as the events in Iraq have begun to send a new wave of Iraqi refugees there on top of the massive Syrian refugee population.
