Last week my wife and I and grandson Derek went on vacation to New York City. It sure was a change. NYC is an amazing city of 13+ million people, five large burroughs; Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island, each a large city in itself. Manhattan is where we spent our time. Manhattan is home to skyscrapers, a beautiful harbor, financial district, Times Square, media centers, broadway plays, Chinatown, little Italy, Harlem and much more. We toured Manhattan atop an open air cruise bus, with guide on board, every sight and sound of the city was pointed out.
It is said of NYC, it is the city that never sleeps. We would go from early morning to late night and it never seemed the city slowed down.
We also went by ferry to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and Staten Island. Went shopping in Macy's and other NYC stores. Derek got his first subway and bus ride.
Big cities are teeming with all kinds of people going here, there, and everywhere. They seem to always be in a hurry. One can see why the Apostle Paul was drawn to the big cities of his day to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, what a mission field for Christ.
