the canyon that is rather grand

I am super behind on posting. I had a few weeks of feeling very unmotivated when it comes to my writing, but I think I'm back on track now.

Sooner rather than later I hope to share some of the my summer journey with you all. On 3 occasions now I have forgotten to grab the cord to upload pictures before heading to a spot with WiFi.

One highlight of this summer was returning to the Grand Canyon! I've had the privilege of seeing it not once but twice in my life! Some people will never make it out there, so I don't take the opportunity to have done so for granted!

I had so much fun with the Bethel "youthies" at the Canyon. I nearly had a heart attack about 20 times as I watched the boys (and Pastor Brian) climbing around like monkeys (a few of them in SANDALS, no less!) but even still it was a blissful day!


Again, I hope to post more summertime pictures soon, but I'll just leave you with these few for now. This next one is my favorite! I was so proud of myself. It took a lot for me to climb out to where it was taken. As I posed with my arms raised I was trembling in fear of the height from which I stood. But I did it!


Many thanks to Brendan (follow his artistic self on twitter: AVibrantBlaze) for capturing this terrifyingly thrilling moment in my life!


When's the last time you were terrified and thrilled at the same time? Hopefully it hasn't been too long. It's good for the soul!

  1. oooooh megan, i so want to visit the grand canyon someday!
    how cool you got to see it twice. i would have been TOTALLY nervous about people playin/messin' around there, especially after reading the book "Over the Edge:Death in the Grand Canyon." It's about accidents and mishaps throughout history of people falling over the edge :(
    anyway, love the pic of you on the cliff! :)

  2. The youth kids were SO respectful and great at following Pastor Brian's instructions. It was great fun!
