Lent in Pictures (2/24) Vision

Chihuly Glass Museum and Garden - Seattle, WA

Blown glass balls of all sizes - piled in a boat and sitting of a pool of mirrored glass... 
A visual feast ... the darkness of the room highlighted the beauty of the scene... 
It was almost overwhelming, but calming at the same time...
What an amazing gift of art to the world.

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

“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.”

through which God speaks to us every hour, 
if we will only tune in."  ~ George Washington Carver
