March 16 – Icy Caves

The Apostle Islands sit just offshore from the Bayfield Peninsula on Lake Superior. Over centuries, wind and water have carved the sandstone into sea caves — explored by boat in summer and by foot across frozen water in winter.

When winter settles in, the caves transform. Ice clings to the ceilings and drapes down the walls. The multicolored sandstone glows against the blue sky and frozen lake, and every sound seems to echo with wonder.

These caves are one of the region’s treasures — a place where heaven and earth feel close. As visitors step inside, their whispered conversations often rise into a shared “Wow,” carried and multiplied by the stone.

“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!” — Psalm 57:5

Creation speaks in seasons. Water shapes rock. Ice forms and melts. Echoes rise and fade. Yet through every cycle, the glory of God remains. Everything in creation points to the God of the Bible, and the Bible points to the God of creation.
