A new painting every morning...


One of the most significant paintings that I have ever seen is painted by God every morning at the top of Haleakala.

Our family got up at 3:00 AM one morning and drove a few hours to experience just one of those sunrises over the clouds of Haleakala. The beauty of that moment can be described by this photograph, but the crispness of the cold, pure, thin air up there is lost in these two dimensions.

God paints a unique sunrise in this spot 365 days a year, year after year, no matter what we are doing or where we are. Most of us are called to live our lives under the clouds, but pictures like these give us great hope.

Haleakala is the volcano in the center of South Maui. Justin and Emily will be staying on the west side of the base of this volcano.

What's really amazing is that God placed us here on this planet where it is cold above the clouds and hot below.
