Lent in Pictures (2/23) Live

"... And why do you worry about clothing? 

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; 

they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, 

even Solomon in all his glory 

was not clothed like one of these." 

Matthew 6:28-29 (NRSV)

Lent in Pictures (2/22) Spirit

This was the sunset on the evening my mother-in-law died.

We felt God's Spirit in a tangible way as we stood at the window together.

It would be hard, but we were not alone.

Lent in Pictures (2/21) Love

When informing your spouse that you are moving 
for the third summer in a row,
bring flowers... 
never take love for granted.

Lent in Pictures (2/20) Evil

Dachau Concentration Camp, Dachau, Germany

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: 
God will not hold us guiltless. 
Not to speak is to speak. 
Not to act is to act.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Lent in Pictures (2/19) Wonder

Grand Canyon National Park, AZ

"I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, 

through which God speaks to us every hour, 

if we will only tune in."  ~ George Washington Carver

Lent in Pictures (2/18) World

Baskin Robbins, Moscow, Russia (2005)

The world seems really big...

but it's also really small.

Lent in Pictures (2/17) Settle

Move # 11... in 18 years (2012)

I've become somewhat of an expert at settling in...

it takes time...

and help...

and sometimes it looks worse before it looks better...

but then it's like you've been there forever.
