"Oblivious to Grandeur"

I'm taking the title from Dr Del Tackett's Sept 3rd blog entry, because I like it so much.  As Dr Tackett said in his blog, we are so often oblivious to the grandeur around us in God's Creation and His Works.

I remember coming across the article which also had a link to a video on YouTube of the experiment that the Washington Post did, having Joshua Bell play violin "incognito" at a DC Metro station.   Most did not recognize this world-renown musician playing beautiful music on his multi-million dollar Stradivarius violin as they rushed through the Metro station.  I wonder what I would've done?  Would I have been drawn to the music?  Would I have recognized the musician?

Nevertheless, this does remind me to stop and take time to notice the glories of God around me.   I don't want to rush through life and miss the amazing beauty of my Creator reflected around me.
