Beauty and the Beast....Mother Nature


This is the beauty of the recent weather we have had.  The snow clings to the small thicket and appears so peaceful and serene.

This is one of the mysteries of God that we so often take for granted. Sometimes we are so wrapped up in the moment we forget to take a look at the beautiful picture of life....





This is the sky of the storm that is approaching.  You can actually see the moisture in the clouds....Oh what beauty awaits us as we watch.......


This is the advent of life....the time of waiting and watching...God gave some of us....a visual glimpse into this moment.....






The beast....two days of rain had the rivers and creeks overflow their banks....it was not pretty...schools in the area closed for the first time in 15 years for flooding...it is the dangerous side of rain.....


I thank God for the Beauty and the Beast....it tells of the preparation we all need to make this time of year.....
