This is a picture of the first flowers I saw last year (Mar 25). 

Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. 

Matthew 6:28-29

From the reading for today:

Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter: whoever finds one has found a treasure.

Faithful friends are beyond price; no amount can balance their worth.

Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; and those who fear the Lord will find them.       

Sirach 6:14-16

I remember the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. The immenseness was far beyond my expectations. Nothing created by man can compare.

And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2

This picture was taken 1 year ago, on our run group’s trip to Utah and Arizona. This was at Antelope Canyon which is an amazing location where flood waters have carved a narrow canyon in the rock.

This is a picture from our hiking in Indiana last weekend. I was really fascinated by the ice floating down the river. As in, “how did it get here”? I realized that the ice may be a good metaphor for our situation in life. How did we get to where we are? And the clear answer is: transported by God, like ice on the river.
