As beautiful as man-made art and architecture can As beautiful as man-made art and architecture can be, nothing comes close to the beauty created by the God of the universe! Grateful to live in a beautiful place and to enjoy this view tonight  @valorsandiego

"O Lord , our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?"
Psalm 8:1‭-‬4 ESV
