Sometimes when my daughter visits, she says, “Let’s get out of Dodge!” I’m always ready, so off we go on a drive. Our adventure might be to take photos of ranch gates or horses or whatever else strikes our fancy. I live in the country but she lives and works in the city and “getting out of Dodge (Dallas)” is a way she copes. Viewing horses and cows and fields of hay bales shimmering gold in the sun can calm a harried mind, but even then, it’s not enough. As C.S. Lewis famously wrote, we humans long for and were intended for something better. The beauty of this world does not compare to what God has in store for us.
