I was at the beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheater yesterday. Have you been there? The Beattles have performed there; Mumford and Sons ended their North American tour there recently.
It is spectacular! God created beauty there unlike anywhere else. He also created a natural, massive cradle in the rocks that provides such perfect accoustics that mics and amplifiers are almost superfluous.
It wasn't my first time there. It holds a few memories for me. I first went there as a tourist when it was empty just to witness it's beauty. I attended my granddaughter, Becca's, high school graduation there 2 years ago. I wasn't there when my son, Matthew arranged for a friend to get his girlfriend there one morning when, to her suprise, he appeared on stage and sang a love song and then proposed--but it is a scene that I picture every time I get to be there.
In the daytime, it's hard to take your eyes off the huge red rock formations that fashion a spectacular backdrop behind the stage. I wasn't having a problem with this distraction yesterday. I couldn't take my eyes off the 6ft., brown eyed boy who was almost a man and who happens to be my grandson. He's the sixth of my ten grandchildren to march down an aisle to Pomp and Circumstance. I can't get used to it. Where does the time go?
Proverbs 17:6
Children's children are the crown of old men [and women]....
