The view from our hangar, busy flight schedule, people waiting on us, but sometimes you’ve just got to stop and stare.

In October, Samantha, Ali and I went to Hawaii for a break. While there, we were late for dinner at a friends house, and I was driving like a maniac trying to make up for lost time … I HATE being late. We were cruising down Alii drive almost to Magic Sands beach when I noticed traffic getting slower. The sky was turning orangish pink and as I looked around I noticed the whole West side of the Island had stopped to watch the sunset. The boogie boarders, and body surfers were all paused with their backs to the shore. A sweaty jogger and his dog stood still and looked to the West. Traffic came to a stand still, and not a single person averted their gaze from God’s display on the horizon. And then, when the sun had disappeared, everybody returned to their activity, including me driving like a maniac. But it struck me that something that occurs every day, in fact, is occuring every second, because it’s always sunset somwhere, could bring absolutely everybody to a stand-still. This was one second of one day in one geographic location, imagine all the beauty displayed each day around the globe. God Almighty has a never ending imagination and He is kind enough to share it with us in His creation. It’s almost a shame to try and capture these things with a digital re-representation, but I can’t help to try.
