Look Up!

I've mentioned several times what a beautiful summer we've had. Everyday I've been stunned by the beautiful clear skies and gorgeous mountains. I'm always complimenting Heavenly Father on the vistas we've enjoyed this summer. He has really treated us to some beautiful weather.
This morning, while I exercised, I was again treated to a beautiful scene. I ended up having a spiritual experience. I think it must have been a combination of the view before me, the words I was listening to on my MP3 player and the point in a run when you finally stop feeling your body and you feel something higher. I don't know if that really explains it very well, but that's the best I can do to explain why I suddenly just started to weep. I just felt close to God and it was beautiful. I'm so grateful to know Him. I'm so grateful he knows me. One of the songs I was listening to when this happened was Call the Man by Celine Dion. The Man is obviously our Savior.

Call the man
Who deals in love beyond repair
He can heal the world
Of hearts in need of care
Shine a light ahead
When the next step is unclear
Call the man
He's needed here

Needed in the chaos and confusion
From the plains to city hall
Needed where the proud who walk the wire are set to fall

Call the man
Who deals in once upon a time
Maybe he
Can mend this broken heart of mine
Shine a light ahead
Now the future isn't clear
Call the man
He's needed here
Call the man
He's needed here

I'm glad to know THE MAN and hope to have many more experiences with him like I had this morning. I know that He can HEAL everyone of everything. I'm glad He was with me this morning during my run.
