12 Jul 06 A Mountain Burning With Fire

We could see the smoke for miles.  Even at 35,000 feet we could see the flames of the fire. 

Passing over the wildfires in the California desert was truly a sight to behold.  It was so captivating I didn’t even think about trying to take a picture.  We just kept looking out the window.  The passengers on the left side of the plane stood up to look out the right side windows.  This particular airline features Direct TV service on every seat.  The current programming could not compete with the view from the window.

The smoke, the flames, the entire scene gave me a better picture of what Mt. Sinai might have looked like when the Lord descended and made his presence known. 

Exodus 19:18  (New Century Version) Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the Lord came down on it in fire.
