About Facing Glory

I am learning that it takes time to see God's glory. It is always there, but when I write I tend to look for it more. And so I write this blog. It's simple, thoughtful and a glimpse of the journey I'm on. I enjoy hearing your ideas, so comment freely.
Love, Lindsay

Today

Thomas Moore : To live ordinary life artfully is to have this sensibility about the things in daily life, to live more intuitively and to be willing to surrender a measure of our rationality and control in return for gifts of the soul.

California Wildfires

Anytime I see the word 'wild' and 'fire' in the same phrase it seems a bit unnerving. I was a little surprised to see this morning how far reaching the fires in Southern California still are.

Here is a brief article from EuroNews giving an update of the disaster.

California wildfires rage into fourth day
Wildfires are continuing to rage out of control in California, sparking an unprecedented exodus. More than 500,000 people have been forced to leave their homes as hot winds whip up flames across the state. Most of the destroyed homes are in the San Diego area where one person was killed on Sunday. "It's just a lousy feeling. Everybody's uprooted and everybody's emotional and scared. And so am I. When I sit down I'll probably cry," said evacuee Janet Horvath. President George W Bush will visit California on Thursday, after states of emergency were declared in seven counties.

Remember these folks in your prayers today. Take an extra moment today to be thankful for our smokeless sky and warm beds. We don't mean to take everything for granted, but in the face of disaster, we can simply let it spur us on to gratitude and compassion.
