Purple Mountains

  
    
When He spoke the tallest mountain peaks were formed on the earth.

I happened to watch a movie called “Everest” recently and it made me think of how insanely crazy the people are to put their bodies through all that pain and suffering to get to the top of a mountain to see more mountains in every direction. But when you see what they see from the top of those peaks you can almost understand why they climb as high as they can no matter what the cost. For some that will be the last view they will ever see. You wonder if they think it was worth it all, to die for it.

I am so grateful for the film crews that bring the beauty of all those mountains to us by using drones, helicopters and even hot air balloons with cameras attached to them to capture nature in its truest form, all the wonder and beauty they processes.

There is a song that most people especially younger people have never heard or they don’t think about it much anymore. It has a line in it talking about, “Purple Mountain Majesties.” It’s called “America, the Beautiful” Back to my original thought, I am in awe at the photos and documentaries I see of all the amazing mountains around the world. I found that BBC America has a documentary just on mountains. All you need to do is click on the link below and it will take you to BBC America. I want to leave you with this one thought. How could mountains be so different in their part of the world unless God created them just for us to gaze at the wonder of it all.
