Santa Fe Travel Diary

The City Different

Santa Fe, City of Holy Faith, is a place of trendy restaurants, galleries, boutiques, cultural clashes and tales of miracles.

Located at 7,000 feet altitude,  it is uniquely different from any other city in America.   The mixing of its Indian, Hispanic and Anglo cultures have produced a city that is religious, exciting and colorful with a determined  sense of importance.  It is a place that is worth visiting and studying. 

Santa Fe challenges me.   It is a city of great opportunity and multiplicity of need.  I see the beauty of nature and the variety of expressions of faith.  I am encouraged to be more faithful in sharing the truth of Christ by what I see.   People need Jesus.  Paul expresses a similar awareness of this great need in his trip to Athens. 

I am overwhelmed by the landscapes.  Stepping stone mountains surround you.  

Everywhere you look, the horizon is filled with more mountains.  The Sangre de Christo mountains to the east turn blood red at sunset.  The other mountains surrounding Santa Fe absorb and radiate light in a new and different way each day.   The stones themselves bear testimony to the creative activity of the Lord.
