We all like to appreciate the beauty and function of completed works. How many of us would give a second glance to the messy scene of a construction site? When I took this picture, it was the beautiful blue sky above that caught my attention at first. Yet, the contrast it made with the brown, […]
I turned 36 yesterday, and here were some thoughts that I had on my birthday: How long do I wish to live? The response that sprang to my heart was – “until my work is done.” I would love to be able to say with my dying breath, “consummatum est (It is finished)” (Jn 19:30). And […]
