    Photo by Sherry Carter 2014   Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. Song of Solomon 2:12As we look around our world, we see so many evidences of God's glory.

    How many of you remember these? You young'uns might have never seen one. We don’t see weather vanes much anymore. I sure could use one of these on my car. It has one of those new-fangled GPS things but I haven’t figured it out.   I have zero sense of direction. No, really, I mean it! North, south, east, west – forget it.

In recent years, the idea of flip-flop took on a whole new meaning. We hear it particularly during an election season. “Senator so-and-so changed his mind on XYZ issue!

    Here we are, at the last color of the rainbow, the last color of God's grace that carries us through a storm.   Purple...the rich, beautiful color of royalty. We envision kings and queens in flowing purple robes. Sovereign kings whose word is law. Almost no one sees the kings of this world. They are inaccessible, sitting on thrones in throne rooms where their subjects never enter.   Jesus is King of kings and Lord… Read More
