To be with Christ is better by far. For the believer, death is not defeat—it’s going home. I am hard-pressed between the two… my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.” —Philippians 1:23

I agree. Truly stunning!

How wonderful! You’re going to love it. Yosemite is breathtaking this time of year. The weather was perfect when I visited. I hope you get a chance to walk the trails and take in the full majesty of the falls!

Funny enough, I had the same conversation with a friend today, which is what made me curious enough to ask everyone here on Twitter.

Thanks so much for sharing that!

Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16) suggests some recognition across the divide, right? It’s one of those deep, sobering mysteries that makes you think hard about eternity.

I can see why now. It’s incredibly stunning!

Will people recognize friends and family in hell the same way they do in heaven? Does the Bible say anything about it? Inquiry minds what to know…me.

Absolutely agree. It’s impossible to stand before Yosemite Falls and not feel the awe of God’s majesty. This was my first visit, shared with a dear friend who’s recently widowed. It was a healing, humbling experience we both needed.

Creation echoes His majesty. The power of the waterfall, the stillness of the trees—each declares the glory of God. Yosemite Falls - Video taken by me.

Thinking of you as you remember your daughter this Sunday. Though many years have passed, her memory lives on. May the Lord surround you with His peace and tender comfort.🙏

Wishing you and your spouse a blessed 32nd anniversary! May the Lord continue to strengthen your union and fill your days with His joy and peace.

Amen!! 🙏

Haha glad it gave you a good laugh, David! I risked my jaw for that joke. Grape-Nuts don’t play around.🤣

Top 3? Only if the other two are gravel and drywall. I know someone who eats Grape-Nuts by the handful… we’re praying for him and planning an intervention.😂

Thanks, Mike. 😊

Totally agree, Mike—it is the perfect place! It’s Bass Lake, CA. I’m here visiting Yosemite National Park for the first time with a dear friend from church (recent widow). So yes… there will be more photos. Whether people are ready or not!😂

Careful what you wish for. I’ve got thoughts, jokes, and encouragement on tap! You might regret this open-door policy.😂
