The day started nice, then, out of nowhere, the heavens burst. We had quite a downpour, complete with lightning and thunder. Sometimes weather like this annoys me; I worry about getting wet, the discomfort, the possible leaks in my house/car/shoes, and whether or not someone is going to need a ride somewhere. This time was different.
It was beautiful. It's hard to describe with words. It was more than just visual, it felt beautiful. Almost immediately a primary song came to mind:
I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
Funny, but that really was the first thing that I thought of as it was pouring down. Then, this morning everything was so crisp and clear: the leaves on the trees, finally present, were a vibrant green; the sky was a clear, deep blue; and the mountains, majestic as ever, stood watch over it all wearing small cotton ball puffs of clouds that blended with the snow on their peaks. Once again, words cannot do it justice. There is just no way to describe it fully. Just know this, "I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world Heavenly Father created for me." And my soul does sing to my Savior and my God, "How great Thou art!"

sneaky face, you didn't tell me you were changing yours too. :)
not quite as drastic as yours, which, by the way, is quite nice.
Huzzah! You found us! How have you been, Senor Call? Hope all is well!
