You're going to need to read the posts below to fully appreciate what I am sharing here. Particularly the post immediately below is needed to see what was going on here. I realize this has nothing to do with my sabbatical journey, but it has everything to do with my philosophy related to what is most important about our relationship with God and what we should be portraying as a church. In the midst of sad events we can find beauty and a reason to celebrate. On a bigger scale, we live in a world of pain, suffering, and loss and yet we can find beauty in all of it IF we look to God and trust in His strength. These pictures, and the ones in the preceding post, were all taken in Ukiah, CA as we gathered at the home of Ingrid's sister, Lilli Teichman, to celebrate what would have been her 50th anniversary. Sadly, her husband, Bruno, died suddenly exactly nine months prior to that date. As we deal with loss and pain we can also see the beauty of nature and animals and the promise of a New Morning!
