Moab: Unexpected Beauty


One of the stops we made on our trip west was Moab, Utah. I usually enjoy mountains and rivers the most, but the beauty of this place was stunning!
The most amazing things to me about the area are the textures and the contrasts. 

Mackenzy took many of these pictures and she did a great job.



The contrast between the sky and the earth was striking.



The vistas are expansive. The Heavens declare the Glory of God!! The skies proclaim the Works of His Hands!!

I love to think about the Lord balancing all of these huge boulders atop the pillars.





The petroglyphs are beautiful.

  3. Paige,
    When someone joined the co-op, they agreed to guidelines concerning common courtesies, and they received a small number of chips (maybe 2-3 hours worth0 to start with. One color of chips would equal an hour, one a half hour, etc. When someone called you to babysit, if you were available they would pay you for your time when they picked up their child in poker chips equal to the amount of time you kept them. For 2 children, we paid 1.5 times the hours we kept. For 2 or more children, we paid 2 times the hours. For example, if I kept 2 children for 3 hours that would be 3 x 1.5. So I would receive 4.5 hours worth of chips to use when I had someone babysit for me. I hope that clarifies a little. If not, let me know.
