I was moved to take this capture of Morro Rock recently, being impressed with the cloud shapes over it. They resemble Morro Rock in some ways, but I know clouds don’t fly. Morro Rock is one of the Nine Sisters, or Morros, unique to our county. Here is a list of them:
Morro Rock 576 feet (176 m)
Black Hill 665 feet (203 m)
Cerro Cabrillo 911 feet (278 m)
Hollister Peak 1,404 feet (428 m)
Cerro Romauldo 1,306 feet (398 m)
Chumash Peak 1,257 feet (383 m)
Bishop Peak 1,559 feet (475 m)
Cerro San Luis 1,292 feet (394 m)
Islay Hill 775 feet (236 m)
I think the geologists should have reversed the order since they begin in Pastor Blake’s back yard. He’s #1 in my book, so Islay Hill should be as well.
Geologists tell us they are of volcanic origin, and formed over 20,000,000 years ago. If you believe the world is only 8,000 years old, let just agree they’ve been here a long time.
There is one rock that is older than all of these, and makes the best foundation: the Rock of Ages.
“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold” Psalms 18:2
Rock your week . . . with God.
