Take The Long Road Home

Life continues to provide me challenges.

This photo really encapsulates the journey. It is a long road; a extended track. Although it wavers slightly on the course, it has a general direction.

But notice the "depth of field." It is really only in focus in the middle of the frame. The foreground is fuzzy. The background is fuzzy. Only the mid-section of the photo is crisply in focus.

Today is pretty clear to me. Mow the lawn, clean the house, eat a few meals, spend some needed face with my wife and kids. And retire.

Yesterday is already beginning to fade. Tomorrow has some clarity, but really remains to me created, lived, and then remembered.

Help me, my Sovereign Lord, to see Your will and purpose every step along the way.

Selah.

A Fiery End of the Day

I stepped out the door on the way to a late appointment and I saw the red color of the western sky. I ran back into the house and grabbed my camera. Maybe there would be an unobstructed view of the horizon on my way.

As I rounded the zig-zag curve on Lake Francis Drive, I saw the above scene.

It slayed me.

Awesome. "A fire goes before Him, and burns up all His enemies. The hills melt like wax at the presence of the LORD of the whole earth."

Selah.
