Beautiful Storyteller

There are stories of beauty everywhere, tales of affection and of powerful love.

These are tiny stories that cannot be captured by art or words. A sudden cool breeze on a too-hot day. Dappled sunlight through green wide leaves. A glance of love--wondering and reassurance--between a young son and his father. The sing-song vowels of a baby.

And you feel a rush; a sense of being loved. Because you are Loved.

He tells His stories differently than we do.

Death of the Interloper

What can one say about a Canadian July so hot and dry that the weeds are starting die off? When they won out over the frail plants I'd expected to be there, I wasn't surprised, but when even they can't thrive?  Well, that's saying something and it just ain't good.

Yeesh.
