I’m still hung up on the word “scripture”.
To me, the most interesting writings can be seen in ravines and cliff faces where sedimentary rock is stacked up layer upon layer.
It’s hard to reconcile that we’re only looking at the edges of the pages. We can barely make out what some of the page numbers might be. Most of the really interesting stuff hasn’t seen the light of day for a long, l o n g time.
Honey, it’s all the Creator. Just go with the flow and don’t worry. You will be cared for. (Sorry about the prepositions)
Growing up in the west, farther north but with similar geography, I’ve never NOT seen “scripture” around me. I grew up being amazed by the beauty around me, of the mountain peaks and the red bluffs that held fossil shells. In farm country, in mountain valleys, one can’t help but read the edges of the pages and realize it was by “Intelligent Design.”
I love this state because there is always something different to see no matter where you drive. A few miles south is the Mojave Desert. To the east is Zion National Park. To the north is Bryce Canyon and Brian Head Ski resort. Duck Creek Reservoir to the south.
This state is “home” to me because of the beauty that Man had absolutely nothing to do with! “Scripture,” indeed! <3

If one accepts the traditional source of the Scriptures, the most interesting stuff will be in those regardless of what else is written in the universe.
And no matter how many layers you may perceive hidden beneath those exposed in the Grand Canyon, I assert (without proof) that the human heart has more.
