How is it that the grandeur and splendour of a natural wonder like Niagara Falls has attracted such an odd assortment of businesses? It is sad to see that so many “attractions” that have sprung up in the downtown part of Niagara Falls are really distractions from life: Ripley’s believe-it-or-not, wax museums, haunted houses, tatoo parlours and more recently, the much celebrated casinos. It’s like all the weirdest stuff, the out-of-ordinary, the ghoulish and fantasy have all collected right beside one of God’s amazing creations. It’s just bizarre. On one hand, you have the magnificence of what God has to offer. And on the other, you have the pitiful emptiness of what humans have to offer. The clincher is this: the experience God offers is free, while the other option will cost you your wallet (and maybe more).
~Romans 1:22-23~
