February 2

I'm not sure what to make of this.  I've been seeing shoots for the last couple of days, but I actually saw flowers blooming today.  Is it a sign of hope or a reminder that the earth is precious? Probably a little of both.  Little reminders from God to take care of creation, to honor it, and to keep it.


I finally watched the National Geographic documentary, "In God's Name" today.  I had it on in the background while I was working on some other things so I definitely need to go back and really pay attention.  I did catch this beautiful quote from Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams: "The meaning [of life] comes as you look around and see all these varied human faces. And you think each of these is capable of reflecting God’s glory.  And that changes how you relate to everybody."  Isn't that beautiful?  It makes me stop and think about how I treat people and relate to them.  What would the world be like if we lived into that promise that we are each capable of reflecting God's glory?
