From today’s appointed readings: John 2:11Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. #signsrevealgodsglory #cloudsaresigns #cloudsofwitnesses #lententravelsFeelin’ it today. Thank you T. #cloudsofwitnessesonmybizcard #homeofficeThe view from here always reminds me from whence it all comes, just as the psalmist recorded in another place and time. From today’s lectionary Psalm 95. Come, let us sing to the Lord; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and raise a loud shout to him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the caverns of the earth, and the heights of the hills are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands have molded the dry land. #cloudsofwitnesseslent- Follow Trinity Seasons on WordPress.com
