”May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!“
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭115‬:‭15‬ ‭(ESV)‬‬

The final days of February brought a variety of weather and skies, a roller coaster of sorts when it comes to sun and clouds, warm and cool. This is typical for February and March here in Alabama. A late February sunrise last week was spectacular in an unusual kind of way, with colors swirling and changing reminding me of the times I’ve been privileged to witness the dancing skies of the Aurora Borealis! Maybe this was a show of the “eastern lights”?READ MORE

“You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.“
‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭(ESV)

Pam had to wake me up for this one last week, but I am so glad she did. Her words were, “I think the sunrise will be spectacular and I don’t want you to miss it”. She was correct and I didn’t miss it! I ran out wearing only a tee shirt and sweat pants and it was 29 degrees. 30 minutes later I returned to the house and discovered I was freezing. I think the beauty of the morning was such a joy that I didn’t realize how cold it was!READ MORE

”Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!“
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

As the days grow longer, catching a sunrise means getting up earlier. I was out very early Friday and it was still quite dark. It appeared overcast, and I had no thoughts of getting a sunrise photo, just a little morning exercise. But you never know when the clouds will take a short break. This is also the area where the local skunk clan hangs out, but gladly there were no encounters this day!READ MORE
