Oregon Caves

So during the incredibly hot weather this week, my friend Ashley and I went to the Oregon Caves. It was a glorious 44 degrees inside the caves! I hadn't been up there since I was in 3rd grade, and it was very interesting to see the changes, not in the cave itself, but in the way I viewed the cave. I don't remember really having to duck at all, but this time, I was hunched over doing the 'caveman walk' for a good half of the tour!
Instead of noticing what everything looked like, the thing I noticed most was the sound! (or lack of it) It was sooooo quiet in there! It kind of reminded me of the sort of quiet when it snows. There was an absolute stillness inside, that should have been scary or creepy, but instead was very peaceful and reassuring! It's amazing to see how something so big and mysterious could be created by a stream and little drops of water! And none of it was created by accident! God meant for it to be there and new exactly what drop of water would form which stalagmite or stalactite. Noting is a secret to God, even something deep beneath a mountain!
