When my daughter taught school in St. Louis, she used to go to the arch and take the train to the top. She said she was 630 feet above her nearest problem and she could always clear her head and gain new perspective from that vantage point. Away from the background noise, she was able to hear what God was trying to tell her.
I love those balloons. A friend and I talked about trying to take a balloon ride, but when we looked into it, we found out that the closest place is about two hours away and cost a minimum of $400 a person. I’ll just have to enjoy them from afar. But I have a whole set of balloon photos in a special photo program that I have permission to use any way I want, and that helps.

Yes, altitude can make a great difference.
More balloons!
