I wonder if the mountains were hazy like this when the apostle Paul and his friend Barnabus sailed out of this city (Acts 14:25-6). I wonder if these majestic peaks brought to mind a quotation from their Hebrew Bibles, or stirred their hearts in praise. I wonder if they took strength and courage for their journey from knowing that the God who made these hills had called them into his love, and was the one who had sent them to tell the world about his love through Jesus.
Hmmm, yes, I wonder as well. Would the climate have changed so very much since then? I'm thinking there might be MORE haze these days due to CO2 emissions. Without the haze it's probably even more beautiful.Were there other bathers, or just the two of you? Visualizing it all...thanks for painting the picture with your words.
