An almost biblical sky. What a wet few days it has been - just drizzle after drizzle after drizzle, it almost doesn't feel like New York City. I do like rain though, it cleans everything up like nothing else does.

Thought of the day: Surrender to the good in everything.

Shrouded in fog... Wonder whether there will be a ruckus tonight - as there was on Sunday night after the Super Bowl game - after all the votes are in for Super Tuesday.

Thought for the day: (as I said...) ...as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever.

First sign of dawn.

Bible study yesterday at a new church: a non-clergy leader of the class asked the students what issues they were grappling with in their lives. Perhaps it was the nature of the issue itself that we decided to discuss - 'forgiving' (how difficult it is) - but when I started reflecting on my own of a question / issue to bring to discussion next week, I realized - sort of awakened to a truth - that every answer to any question a human being asks is the same: turn to God, let the spirit work it out while you rest in the blessing of peace granted by faith. Every question I brought up seemed automatically to be answered by yesterday's answer.

Thought of the day:
...as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.

A beautifully warm Sunday morning. A day filled with newness and possibilities...

Thought of the day: Forgive and be forgiven; give and be given. All has been set before us by God; we only need to face toward him and receive.

Manhattan in the gloaming light of twilight.

Winds are still blustery this morning, though quieting down.

Thought of the day: We fit in the palm of His hand...

View #30 Don't mind it...

A cold wet winter's day. Actually it isn't that cold at 44 degrees F, just the damp makes it feel so.

I like the rain, even if it is a little inconvenient. I don't mind being inconvenienced by rain.

Thought of the day: There is a way you can choose to be at peace always - you can not mind feeling however you feel - sad, guilty, hurt, dejected... or even unhappy... or... happy.
