Triumph ...


“The Resurrection of Christ changed the midnight of bereavement into a sunrise of reunion; it changed the midnight of disappointment into a sunrise of joy; it changed the midnight of fear to a sunrise of peace.”
         ~ Billy Graham

A Winter Peace

"Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth
plants something in his soul."
                                                          ~ Thomas Merton

I always the sight of a picturesque country church, especially in the snow.
This is Jordan Evangelical Lutheran Church, Orefield, Pennsylvania
on a recent winter afternoon. The church was established in 1734.

Red Grace


I always love the sight of a country church, and liked the contrast of the red against the blue sky earlier this week at Zion's Red Church, Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania. The church was established in 1755.
