Without question, the highlight of our Alaskan cruise was the five hour round-trip voyage through Tracy Arm to Sawyer Glacier. We were blessed with a bright, cool morning as we entered the sheer-walled fjord known as Tracy Arm. Sailing past huge icebergs, numerous waterfalls, and spectacular views, the entire journey was narrated by a trained geologist, Billy Caldwell. Speaking from a Christian Naturalist's perspective, he shared facts about Alaska's glacial history, the surrounding rain forest, and the abundant coastal wildlife.
When we reached the magnificent Sawyer Glacier, the ship parked at an awe-inspiring vantage point while Dr. Stanley conducted a service from the bridge. We sang the hymn, "How Great Thou Art," and then a quiet calm settled in the canyon, creating an indescribable moment of worship. Many of us were moved to tears as we reflected on the majesty of our God.
