Thought Provoking....

I ran across this quote today:

"Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering."

Saint Augustine

Jenny Lake

Going to bed last night, I had decided to drive up to Jenny Lake today. I had pretty much caught up my homework on Saturday night and Sunday. Sunday's weather turned out to be rather crumby, which was fine with me since I couldn't spend much time outside anyway. However, the weather today was perfect. It did freeze last night and I had to scrape my windshields. It didn't get much about 50 in the Tetons, but the air was crisp and clear and there was no wind. After loading up all my stuff and cleaning the condo, I picked up a coffee at "Elevated Grounds" and took off town toward Jackson.

Had I know that I would have to pay a fee to get into the park, I probably wouldn't have gone. Rather than turn around once I got that far, I paid the fee and drove on into to Teton National Park. From there, I pretty much just looked at the map and drove around. I loved every minute of it. Hopefully I can use my pass next weekend to go to Yellowstone :)

Math in the Mountains

I had the wonderful opportunity to stay in a friend's condo out of town this weekend. At first, I had decided not to go because I have too much homework. However, I got thinking about it and decided that I could still go and do homework while I was there. So here I am! Enjoying the Lord's goodness to me and the change of scenery. He knows what I need and I am so thankful that He is teaching me to be a little more spontaneous and receive the blessings that He wants to give me. I think so many times He is offering things to me, but I don't know how to receive them.

Anyway, although I still have hours of College Algebra homework to do, I am so thankful I am up here, at the base of the Tetons, enjoying the time I have. :-)
