Cycle of Life

Yesterday we awoke to 2026’s first summer/fall transition snowfall … after all … it is August here in the Last Frontier

A short road trip to Hatcher Pass was in order. Here’s a few summer/fall transition snowfall scenes that delighted our eyes with wonder. While Ellie chose to stay in the car, I took off a little hike and, ever the romantic, returned with a custom crafted ‘snowheart’😊

As is customary at this time, I trekked to the river to witness a incredible, somewhat bittersweet, cycle of life phenomena. Here’s a vid clip of one of Nature’s amazing cycle of life displays I witnessed in awe.

Rather than posting new thoughts on this migration marvel, here’s ramblings posted a few years ago on my blog . . ._____________________________________________________________________In a chillingly pristine, flowing Matanuska River tributary, I watched in wonder today as spawning sockeye salmon displayed both this life’s genesis and finale . . . so like us.

Conceived to life in an unfathomable act of co-creation with our Creator, we launched into life’s ocean. In a span of time known only to Him, we navigate our voyage through welcomed peaceful calms and tumultuous storms to one day reach our life’s finale tributary.

The salmon’s life ends on a stream bed . . . not so with us. Jesus willing chose to sacrifice His own life for ours, mercifully providing each of us with our life’s finale choice . . . a new life genesis with a forever peaceful eternity that knows no storms, only calm with Him and all who have chosen Him as Savior  . . . or  . . .

Life’s finale choice remains the most crucial decision each of us will ever make, ignore, or deny  . . . choose well.

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

I Corinthians 15:55-56
