the chilled morning fog

rises to the warming sun

reflecting fireside


Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

Finding Joy in Autumn’s Cloudy Days


good news of great joy

one cloudy autumn Sunday

sunlight through stained glass


But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”

Luke 2:10-11 (NIV)
