Ice Moving on the Blackfoot River


"Contemplating the lace-like fabric of streams outspread over the mountains, we are reminded that everything is flowing - going somewhere, animals and so-called lifeless rocks as well as water. Thus the snow flows fast or slow in grand beauty - making glaciers and avalanches; the air in majestic floods carrying minerals, plant leaves, seeds, spores, with streams of music and fragrance; water streams carrying rocks both in solution and in the form of mud particles, sand, pebbles, and boulders. Rocks flow from volcanoes like water from springs, and animals flock together and flow in currents modified by stepping, leaping, gliding, flying, swimming, etc. While stars go streaming through space pulsed on and on forever like blood globules in Nature's warm heart. . . Nature is a flood and we all are in it." John Muir

The Pursuit of God

"The Lord of all being is far more than the Lord of all beings. He is the Lord of all actual existence. He is the Lord of all kinds of beings - spiritual being, natural being, physical being. Therefore, when we rightly worship Him we we compass all being." A. W. Tozer



"When religion has said its last word, there is little that we need other than God Himself." A. W. Tozer



"The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our "following hard after" Him." A. W. Tozer



"All the time we are pursuing Him we are already in His hand, "Thy right hand upholdeth me." A. W. Tozer
