Why are we here?

Here is a wonderful quote from the April 2012 General Conference by President Thomas S Monson,

"In our times of deepest reflection or greatest need, the soul of man reaches heavenward, seeking a divine response to life’s greatest questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where do we go after we leave this life?"

For answers to these questions, you can find them here.

This is a picture I took in the Kanarraville Creek slot canyon in southern Utah.

How Great Thou Art

Michelle and I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas for a training conference for work.  On our way there we stopped in Kanarraville, Utah to hike the canyon there.  When we were inside the canyon together and standing there in the creek looking up at the beautifully sculpted sandstone, these words came to mind,

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
