God's Big Show!

My friend Val uses the phrase "God's Big Show" when writing about our lives as Christians.

It says so much!!

I love the phrase and asked her if I could use it as a blog title and she graciously said yes

Thank you Val!

2-20-2020 Update:

I just discovered that God's Big Show may have also been originally coined by explorer and and author John Muir — who was known as the "Father of the US National Parks." 

In a paper, Kelly Boyte Brill shares:

Famed writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson "spent only one day with Muir, and offered him a teaching position at Harvard, which Muir declined.  Muir later wrote, 'I never for a moment thought of giving up God's big show for a mere professorship.'"

Brill continues, "God’s big show, God’s works in nature, became John Muir’s life purpose.  He found God in nature, and wanted other people to have that same experience.

Like music, nature is a portal to the divine. For many people, spending time in nature is the surest, quickest way to feel connected to God."
