Spring

I have been away from the blogosphere for a few days. It's good to be back...

Spring is FINALLY here. I love springtime. Newness. Fresh start. I thought about it this morning as I was mowing my grass.

Last year we beautified the front of our home with some perennials and other greenery. A few of them we weren't sure would last through the Michigan winter. I had looked just 4 or 5 days ago and there was nothing. But by this morning they had grown to about 5 inches. In just a few days life sprang up. They lasted through the cold, hard winter and now are growing again.

God's mercies are new every morning and his love never stops. We too are in a continual state of growing even when we feel the winter will never end. It will end. The sun will shine again. You are created to grow.

I really liked this post. We were created to grow. I like that.

-- oh and you cut grass before you came into work? dang.

You used to blog. And now you don't. That is the saddest thing - a "used to blog" guy.
