For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve,
and to give His life as a ransom for many."

"What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,
or what parable shall we use to describe it?
It is like a mustard seed,
which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground,
yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants,
with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade."
Matt. 4:30-32

The calm before the storm.
Yesterday these empty Trumpet Vine seed pods
hung so quietly, enjoying some sunshine.
Soon they will be clinking together in the wind again
as a major snow storm is headed this way.
During light breezes, they sound like windchimes.


knitted hat.

Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both calamities and good things come?

Why should any living man complain
when punished for his sins?

Lam. 3:37-39

In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing You will change them
and they will be discarded.
But You remain the same,
and Your years will never end.
