Throwback Thursday

Today I'm sharing two pictures from July, 2013.

One is very appropriate for the things going on in July 2015, - well, really,  any time in modern life:

July 4, 2013, Kentucky

In the past two years, we've seen a lot ... riots in Ferguson, be-headings by Isis, the Boston Marathon Bombing, outbreak of Ebola ... I could go on and on.

Most of these situations have been ugly man-made messes created by hate.

Yet every morning and evening God shows up displaying His artistry and beauty and power. He alone knows how to create something from nothing.

If He can paint a new picture every morning and evening working with what He created, don't you think He can take the ugliest mess we have and turn it into something beautiful?

After all, He is in the miracle-working business. The mind-blowing part? He invites us to work with Him. And the first step is to talk to Him.
