A Picture into Another Time
I don't quite know why, but I love this picture.
Although it doesn't update every day, I get National Geographic's Picture of the Day, and this one showed up today.
I'm not sure if it's the sleeping boy, the women in hats, or the matching blues of the tie and coat that draw me in, but I'm in. I feel innocence and security when I look at the boy. I feel utter joy when I look at the woman in the pew behind. But what do I feel when I look at the woman in blue? Perhaps she's thinking deeply about something going on in life, but the first thing that came to my mind was obligation. The obligation that most feel when they sit in church clapping their hands, because they haven't quite grasped the full potential of their relationship with the one they worship.
grace and peace.
