I live near some of the most beautiful mountains one can imagine...but it's the ocean that has my heart. The ocean seems so peaceful to me - but I have also seen the other side. Mountains are forces to be reckoned with and the ocean can spin a storm that will claim your life...but our Mighty God conquered such things in His moments on earth. He climbed mountains and hills to find solitude and He spoke Peace to the wind and waves so that our hearts might be calmed. All He creates He can conquer. (Genesis 1:9,10)
