Actually, Sandi and I were in sunny Arizona last Shabbat, and we’re back in rainy Oregon this Shabbat, but oh well, who cares anyway, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So are you as sick of hearing about impeachment, coronavirus, Democrat, Republican, LGBTQXYZYUCK, gay pride, terrorism, climate change, etc. and ad nauseum<\/em> as I am? Well, if you are, then wash your brains out with some pics of astounding scenery from America’s forty-eighth state. This was Sandi’s first trip to AZ and my second (it was decades ago and I barely saw anything then). We were captivated and enraptured by Arizona’s unique beauty and we fell in love with the desert\u2014at least in winter time. Not sure we’d feel the same when it’s 110 F (43 C) for months during the summer! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please enjoy these photos on this Shabbat and remember that while the world is falling apart all around us (as Scripture predicted it would just prior to the second coming), we can find great solace in Elohim’s creation, which in every way points to him and to the fact the he is still the Sovereign King of the universe, and all of his laws that govern his creation are in force despite the silly and puny machinations of humans, who hate and resist the Creator of Just Judge or the universe!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
