Ouch! This reminds me of my father and me walking over one of those bridges. I was terrified, probably because I heard someone telling the scary stories about kids falling in. I clung to my father. I probably screamed, which would have been appropriate. It's a little hell on Earth.
“Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.”
— Ephesians 3:12 NLT
Deuteromy and Hebrew’s refer to God as a consuming fire. (Had to look up the addresses). How different is that then a roiling cauldron of liquid?
I often find that we approach the Throne of Grace with much less caution than we ought. I think we can get much more than we expect in our “what a friend we have in Jesus” approach.
Not that we don’t have a friend. We do.And we need to remember as Mr Beaver warned us, He’s neither tame nor safe, and He is good.
I spy a collection title.
Also "Nope, verily, nope." 🤣
Maybe THAT'S the collection title: Nope. Verily, nope. 🤣🤣🤣

In college I took a geology course on the advice of a friend. I found it overwhelming in data memorization and boring. But now -
Bare Feet Prayer
Calloused soles feel
green grass blades
rooted in loam
over clay subsoil
layered atop bedrock
covering unfathomable strata.
Bare toes acquiesce.
I whisper
I am
not
in control.

Yellowstone does have a bit of Revelation 20 vibe, especially the Dragon's Mouth Spring (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUEgY2KADLI), one of my personal favorites.
Did the National Park Service commission Banksy to design those warning signs?
Oh, gorgeous.
