Baptism of the Lord--Back To Ordinary Time

This country boy really does not like city traffic in any major metropolitan area.  Subsequently, I try to go to Denver as seldom as possible.  Is it just me, or does Denver's "rush hour" go on all day long?  Anyway, I was told that I was going to be a good grandpa today and go to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.  Thus, I celebrated the Baptism of the Lord by listening to "Him" through the words of my wife.  Off to Denver we went with our daughter and two granddaughters.

The traffic did not disappoint.  It took us about thirty minutes longer to get there than it should have. 

This was my first trip to the museum and I was hoping it would be worth it.  Well, I must say that it was quite impressive.  Based upon the hundreds of other people also enjoying the "free day" at the museum, I would say it is quite a popular venue.

Although there is plenty of snow still on the ground in Denver, the fifty degree day today felt quite nice.

The Denver skyline with the Rocky Mountain backdrop is quite picturesque.

These are the scenes I viewed before preparing to make the trek back home. I was now ready for the stop and go traffic with the appropriate responses if anyone cut me off.  Just joking.  Although we were tired, we returned home safely and calmly.

As we now enter back into Ordinary Time on our liturgical calendar, please remember that there is nothing ordinary about giving praise and worship to the "King of  kings" and "Lord of lords!"  Continue your journey to grow in wisdom, grace, and holiness.
