Another heartbreakingly stunning red sky on my early morning commute to 8 AM worship through the Bay Area, where smoke from California’s most devastating fire in history, the Camp Fire, lingers over the Sonoma hills to the East. Compassionate God… Draw near to us in this time of sorrow and anguish, comfort those who mourn, strengthen those who are weary, encourage those in despair, and lead us all to fullness of life; through the same Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen #cloudsofwitnessessendrain#cloudsofwitnessesbeckoningmydrive #metaphorforministry #wheretoserve? #fallskiessoutherncaliforniaWelcome Fall. Though it doesn’t feel like such outside, appreciating the change of seasons and all that beckons outside my front door. #cloudsofwitnessesinseasonchange #houseschangetoo- Follow Trinity Seasons on WordPress.com
