Spring in Oklahoma brings rain and usually tornados.

This shot from my back yard, brought a very pleasant morning surprise.

We were celebrating Valentines Day as a family when my youngest stopped everything to point out the sunset. Our yard is positioned such that the sun always sets behind our one remaining tree — A very large and weather beaten Maple. The beauty of the sun shining through brokeness always speaks to my heart. Beauty speaks and thankfully we took the time to stop, notice, and receive her blessing.

These golden Aspens in Glorietta New Mexico surprised us last fall. This particular row of trees is called “Heavens Highway.” The golden foilage against the brilliant blue sky, just took our breath away.

I also wanted to say thank you to all who are sticking with me during my litugical studying.  I don’t always get the verbiage exactly right, and true to my relational heart, I write/talk more about feelings than I do facts. Even though I do that, please don’t for a minute think that feeling is all that makes church great. It isn’t about feeling, it’s about faith. Being fully present again in worship, continues to be a wonderful gift from God.

I’ll still write about my more humorous adventures, I promise.

A new thing to Redemption’s Heart is Skywatch Friday. This skywatch photo is brought to you from Tampa Bay. It was Mom’s wish that her ashes be scattered in the bay.
