I had already been on the cable car several times yesterday, and noticed the nice scenery, but maybe today I was a bit more relaxed and was able to have a better look around. As I gazed around at the mountains I couldn't help but think how awesome our Creator is. I'm now back in Barcelona, yet even in the city I can appreciate God's creation, as the magnificent buildings, though man-made, were built by the hands created by God. One such building is the famous Sagrada Família. The top of church, which is still being built, stands is 1m lower than the peak of Montjuïc, the big hill in the south of the city. Gaudí designed the church as such because he said that the work of man should not be greater than the work of God. How foolish of him! As if by making the church 5m higher his work would have been greater than the creator of -- to give but one example -- Everest.
