Well, I did get to go on a safari today, and it was one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. Stunning. Here are some of the pics.
 |
| This guy was really, really tall. Really. |
 |
| Wildebeests. |
 |
| Aaron. |
 |
| Colten, Anna, and Ben accompanied us on this safari. Ben wisely brought a Nintendo DS for use when the giraffes just don't cut it. Hey, by your fifth safari, things get old. |
 |
| Baobab trees are huge. |
 |
| This doesn't look as cool when it's small, but it's panoramic shot Aaron took. |
 |
| Mount Meru. 15,000 ft. |
 |
| One of approximately 4.7 billion zebras we saw today. |
 |
| Impalas fencing. |
 |
| Nice truck. |
 |
| If you ever need someone to pick the bugs out of your hair, these baboons would be happy to oblige. |
 |
| Thanks for posing. |
 |
| Not a lot of competition at this level of dining. |
 |
| I don't have time to look-up exactly what these are. Comment and tell me. Murcats or something? |
 |
| We saw dozens and dozens of elephants. |
 |
| There is a lion eating a wildebeest in the bottom of the photo (below the bush at the base of the tree). |

Reading today in Isaiah 11, I was struck with this description of Christ's future reign:
And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little boy will lead them.
Also the cow and the bear will graze,
Their young will lie down together,
And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,
And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
As the waters cover the sea.
Then in that day
The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a signal for the peoples;
And His resting place will be glorious.
It is pretty amazing to think about after seeing a lion devour a wildebeest right before my eyes. God will reverse the curse instated in Genesis 3 and all creation will rejoice. Oh, haste the day, Father! ἔρχου, Κύριε ᾿Ιησοῦ.
