While camping with friends in Australia’s Blue Mountains west of Sydney, I was intrigued by the beautiful rock formations and miles of scenic forests. The many oil-bearing eucalyptus trees fill the local atmosphere with finely dispersed droplets of oil and combine with dust particles and water vapor to yield a rich blue color across the landscape.
During our first visit there, we went horseback riding in Gosford. On another occasion, we returned to the Blue Mountains for a weekend to get to know each other better, study the Bible, and enjoy the local sites. I learned a few life-and-death lessons there.
